Aimed at anyone with an interest in the building and uses of ancient and medieval boats.

Regions covered will include the Mediterranean and Atlantic Europe.
This interesting volume is easily accessible to those with little or no knowledge of the building and uses of boats, whether ancient or modern.Sen McGrail introduces the reader to this relatively new discipline through the theory and techniques used in the study of early boats as well as the many different types of evidence available to us, including archaeological, documentary, iconographic, experimental and ethnographic, and the natural, physical laws.
