A recent accidental discovery of a traditional boat, or tepari, on the island of Janitzio in Lake Pátzcuaro has led to significant archaeological findings, shedding new light on the region's pre-Hispanic history. The Ministry of Culture of the Government of Mexico, along with specialists from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) and the local indigenous community, is spearheading efforts to conserve and research these important artifacts. The Remarkable Tepari Discovery In early May 2024, the discovery of the tepari, measuring an impressive 14.80 meters (48.56 feet) in length, was registered on Janitzio island. This traditional boat, which sank with its load of firewood, presumably traveled from Erongaricuaro to Janitzio. The size and condition of the boat make it a significant find, prompting further exploration and conservation efforts. According to the INAH report, following the initial discovery, INAH researchers and community authorities conducted dredging operations on the island, uncovering an area rich with pre-Hispanic artifacts. This led to the initiation of archaeological rescue and research work, supported by the Environment Secretariate of the Government of the State of Michoacán.
