Squamish artifact dates back to at least 400 A.D.
It was a routine academic mission for geoscientist Pierre Friele, but it ended with a discovery that goes back more than 1600 years.
Friele stumbled upon a prehistoric bowl and two cobble pestles while guiding a student researcher who was studying sediments along the Squamish River.
He found the bowl in a bank along the Squamish River, in an area opposite the creek mouth flowing from Lake Lovely Water.
"It's just amazing," said a beaming Friele.
"It's not every day you find things that are thousands of years old."
Carbon dating has determined the historical artefacts are more than 1,600 years old, said Rudy Reimer, a professor of First Nations history and archaeology at SFU.
"It's 1,610 (years old), plus or minus 20 years," Reimer said. Read more.
