Seacraft of the Bronze Age

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This account of discoveries, excavations and research over 50 years since the first boat find reveals much information on the oldest plank-built boats found anywhere in the world apart from Ancient Egypt and the Aegean. The excavation and preservation of the boats presented many problems, leading to methods of excavating and recording which have since become standard in the field of maritime archaeology. This book also presents a realistic reconstruction of the boats with estimates of its performance.
