Re: Neolithic boats

>> I guess the earliest boats to be found in Britian are the Ferriby boat and the Caldicot boat,

TC Lethbridge suggests the Irish curragh, the umiak and the coracle are descendents of the boats used in the Neolithic. Once again I find opportunity to recommend <i>Boats and Boatmen</i> and <i>Coastwise Craft</i> by Lethbridge. Unlike many archaeos who have postulated about such stuff he was himself a well travlelled sailor and boats seemed to have been a very early interest of his.
