CARVED BY INDIANS 3,500 YEARS AGO — “The most
unusual discovery in Indian archaeology ever made in Canada
and probably in North America” is the way Robert Popham,
research associate at the University of Toronto, describes
these carvings on a limestone rock near Lakefield, Ont. The
carvings, he and other experts believe, are the work of In
dians of the Laurentian tribe and were made about 3,500 years
ago, long before the. Greek and Roman empires. The carvings,
ground into the rock, rather than cut out of it, were darkened
by charcoal by Mr. Popham to show a heron, spearheads and
several human figures. —Central Press Canadian
