KENT, ENGLAND—Kent Online reports that a log boat dating to the Bronze Age was discovered in a boatyard in the town of Faversham in southern England. A portion of the 4,000-year-old boat was lifted out of the water and Paul Wilkinson of SWAT Archaeology was called in to examine it. The boat was then returned to the water to keep it from drying out. Archaeologists will investigate to see if any more of the vessel has survived.
