PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA—The Associated Press reports that tests show a boat found in Cambodia earlier this year near the Angkor Wat temple complex was made in the early thirteenth century A.D. Measuring 42 feet long, the boat was found in a riverbed by a farmer digging for mud and is the oldest to be discovered in Cambodia. Until it is ready for public viewing, the boat is being kept underwater in a pond at Angkor Wat. To read more about the archaeology of Angkor Wat, go to "Remapping the Khmer Empire."
