Clocking in at over 14,000 years old, an archaeological dig on Triquet Island (a small island appx. 450 km northwest of Vancouver) has unearthed an ancient human settlement belonging to the area of the current Heiltsuk nation. Some of the findings included an atlatl (spear-thrower), fish hooks and a hand drill for starting fires. A PhD student at the University of Victoria, Alisha Gauvreau, made the discovery and will go to present her findings at the Society of American Archaeology.

The ancient Luwian language, used in the west of ancient Anatolia, has been at least partially understood now. The text that researchers have to work with is actually a sketch of an inscription that was later destroyed which has led to questions regarding its authenticity. Understanding this opposition, I’ll fill you guys in on what was discovered. The text describes a kingdom called Mira which was quite powerful in the region, having subjected Troy to its authority multiple times. If proven true this would help us to understand the ancient region and fill in some historical holes that have been missing from the area, specifically those mysterious Sea Peoples. The research was done by Fred Woudhuizen, independent scholar, and Eberhard Zangger, geologist and president of the Luwian Studies Foundation.
