Advance: 8: Water Transport

on BBC One London

Ten programmes about prehistoric man's first steps in technology.

How did man first carry himself and his goods across water? Was it on a raft, on inflated skin, or in a dugout? Which of these developed into the first sea-going ship? These points, and the archaeological evidence, are discussed and illustrated by David Wilson, Reader in Anglo-Saxon Archaeology, University College, London;
George Naish, Keeper of Models and Relics, National Maritime Museum, Greenwich; Nicholas Thomas, Keeper, Department of Archaeology, Birmingham City Museum.
