More about the book

Focusing on the exploration of Ice Age seafaring, this volume details the First Mariners Project initiated in 1996. It documents the construction and sailing of eight primitive vessels using stone tools, with six successfully launched. Notably, a 1000-km journey to Australia in 1998 aimed to replicate early human migration, while other experiments targeted ancient sea crossings in Indonesia. The book provides a thorough archaeological context and includes an extensive pictorial record of both the experiments and the foundational research.
