Story highlights Fossilized footprints on Canadian island are evidence of people there 13,000 years agoThe finding also suggests that these people used watercraft to reach the island(CNN) Searching the shoreline sediment of British Columbia's Calvert Island, researchers uncovered 29 footprints that are 13,000 years old. The footprints belonged to two adults and a child, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal PLOS-ONE. Today, Canada's Pacific coast is covered with dense forests and can be reached only by boat. But Calvert Island was worth the trouble because during that ice age, the sea level there was between 6 and 9 feet lower than it is now. The footprints were found on Calvert Island in British Columbia.
