Glad you clarified "boat" in the headline. For a while there I thought maybe it was a really stale sandwich.

really really old cajuns...

the pirogue was still being made when it was abandoned for reasons we still don't know.

Obviously they started making it when the rains began, but didn't get it finished before the flood. Noah began construction before the rain started, so he got his boat finished in time.

"Since Nola is only 7.5 miles from the volcano, people probably did not have time to pack before the eruption, and left behind cooking utensils, drinking cups, hunting tools, a hat decorated with wild boars' teeth, and a pot waiting to be fired in the kiln... So far no human remains have been found at Nola -- only several footprints preserved in the mud -- but scholars believe the skeletons of a Bronze Age man and woman discovered nearby about five years ago may be associated with the prehistoric eruption as well."
