    Depuis le niveau de la mer est monté, recouvrant le lit de la forêt d’une fine couche de tourbe qui stoppa la croissance des plantes et de ces arbres millénaires. Emprisonnés dans cette même matière, les souches ont été conservées et de nombreux fossiles vont pouvoir être étudiés.

    Les archéologues ont également découvert une passerelle de bois proche du site, faite de branches tenues sur des poteaux. Nous allons devoir patienter pour connaître la datation exacte de cette passerelle et en apprendre davantage sur l’histoire de la forêt oubliée.
