these weren't simple people living here

Stone Age people paddling tree trunks around. Guess it depends on your definition of "simple".

A 45-foot canoe, buried for more than a thousand years and used by a long-dead culture of Native Americans, worked its way to the surface, and now authorities are trying to figure out how best to preserve it.

Wouldn’t even make good firewood anymore I guess.

Seriously now; aren’t we taking this idea that everything we find that society threw away a thousand years ago has to somehow be preserved forever....???

Interesting find, but BFD. How do you suppose the Caribbean Islands were populated?

Some letters were scratched on the side of the craft that, when fully deciphered, read. “AARP member since 900 a.d.”
