In this fascinating volume, Alan Simmons summarizes and synthesizes the evidence for prehistoric seafaring and island habitation worldwide, then focuses on the Mediterranean. Recent work in Melos, Crete, and elsewhere-- as well as Simmons' own work in Cyprus-- demonstrate that long-distance sailing is a common Paleolithic phenomenon. His comprehensive presentation of the key evidence and findings will be of interest to both those interested in prehistorPaleolithic periodMediterranean RegionNavigation, PrehistoricMediterranean RegionMediterranean RegionAntiquitiesPaleolithic periodNavigation, Prehistoric937SOC003000bisacshSimmons Alan H.963953DiBenedetto KatelynMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827889603321Stone age sailors3937675UNINA
