Re: Is this a boat?
Nov 23, 2005, 09:03
I don't know what the spurs are and agree that they do look like rams, but there is nearly always a spur aft as well. I wonder if there was not one spur, but two parallel spurs which wouldn't be apparent from the profiles on the rocks. Could they have acted as a kind of ski when coming into a shelving beach?
I know it sounds daft, but most show another spur or spurs at the rear end. Perhaps the boats could be hauled out of the water and used as sledges over ice and snow - sort of Bronze Age amphibious vehicle :0)

Hopefully Landstrom might have something to to say on them
