World’s oldest boomerang found in Florida sinkhole
National Geographic researchers report 6 000 to 7 000 year old human remains and a 12 000 to 13 000 year old brain in Little Salt Spring near Sarasota. They uncover 1 000 to 2 000 people buried, extinct tortoise remains, a 3 foot stake spear, a wooden mortar, and a possibly world oldest boomerang. Clausen notes extraordinary preservation due to chemistry, temperature, and lack of oxygen, with plans for deeper dives and submerged habitat exploration.
