The First Mariners Project
This is the homepage of the First Mariners Project, which investigates the Pleistocene origins of seafaring. Commenced in 1996, this project comprises a series of archaeological studies and replicative expeditions with primitive vessels in specific parts of the world. Its purpose is to determine the minimum technological requirements to cross those sea barriers hominids have successfully crossed during the Ice Age, to acquire a reliable measure of human technological and cognitive competence at the time in question.
