Kristian Kristiansen, who heads the historical faculty at Gothenburg University, but has not been involved in the study, call according to the New York Times the discoveries “a breakthrough”.
this is The first time that evidence has been found for how this technology has emerged and since has spread from the coast and the sea.
It suggests that one had both and was good to sail already then, which is a significant discovery, he says.
