Interlude Episode - Boats of Prehistory
Our between-seasons interlude episode is now live! We take a whirlwind look at the basic boat forms that would (most likely) have been used in prehistory: dugout canoes, reed boats, rafts, bark canoes, hide canoes and boats, and the coracle. We also talk about some historic recreation voyages like Kon-Tiki and the First Mariners Project.

““This is one of those finds when you are just laughing all the time because you can’t believe it,” says Cau. “This is the sort of thing that happens to you once in an academic lifetime. We will never find anything like this again and that’s what makes it so special.””
