It is interesting the amount of intercultural contact and pre-Columbian trade that existed before Europeans ‘discovered’ the New World.

Not very long ago, Kon Tiki seemed a stretch. Now it seems that people were traveling everywhere by sea. Interesting stuff.

What I’ve found particularly surprising is the sudden new discoveries out of old sites and areas. You’d think the Med basin was well understood and that the “facts” about it were well established and sorted.

Is it just me or is the world or archeology awaking to the fact that humans moved in large groups, often and far?
