Earlier this year, students working in a Florida sinkhole (inset) found the remains of a gourd that probably was used as a canteen by an ancient hunter about 8,000 or 9,000 years ago, according to researchers. These remains and others found at the site come from the earliest known period of human activity in the Western Hemisphere, added the underwater archaeology team exploring the site.

Seems that I remember other finds from 16-17,000 years ago. Blam or Sunkenciv would know I guess. (SC has an incredibly apt name for this article)
