When archaeologists unearthed five dugout canoes at La Marmotta, an Italian archaeological site nestled in the Mediterranean basin, little could they know that they had come across the earliest Neolithic boats found to date.
By conducting extensive research into these ancient remains, they ended up determining that they were actually over 7,000 years old. They were also found to demonstrate the ingenuity of their era, having been built using a technology far more developed than previously understood, revealing hereto unknown insights into Neolithic navigation and boatbuilding culture in the Mediterranean.
