Underwater Archaeology

Summary

Who were the first seafarers? Investigate this question by looking first at indirect evidence—prehistoric land sites in the Mediterranean, East Timor, and Japan that show clear evidence of boating technology. Then, uncover the oldest boats ever found, dating from Mesolithic and Neolithic times, and locate the world's oldest shipwreck—a remarkably intact 2400-year-old Greek trading vessel.
