Description

Explore the history of some of the world's oldest plank-built boats. In this Routledge Library Edition, the author provides a personal account of the discoveries made at Ferriby on the Humber shore. Starting with his first find in 1937 at age 19, this book covers over 50 years of excavations and research. Readers will learn how the importance of these finds was recognized following World War II. Through the use of carbon-14 dating, it was revealed that these vessels were built before 1000 BC. This discovery placed the Ferriby Boats among the oldest of their kind, comparable only to those found in Ancient Egypt and the Aegean. They predate similar craft in Northern Europe by half a millennium, making this a significant text for anyone interested in Bronze Age archaeology and maritime history.
