A hemlock fragment found in a Menasha sewer excavation near Lake Winnebago is estimated by Oshkosh anthropologist James E. Lundsted to be about 10 000 years old. If confirmed, the find could push back Wisconsin’s glacier era by around 7 000 years and suggest a younger timber age than present trees. The fragment will be sent to Chicago for precise dating tests.
