List of all 14C dates made on canoes.

Navigation in the Mediterranean in the Neolithic is studied here through the boats that were used, the degree of technical specialisation in their construction and, above all, their chronology. After a brief explanation of the exceptional site of La Marmotta, the characteristics and chronology of the five canoes found at the settlement and one of the nautical objects linked to Canoe 1 are discussed. This will allow a reflection on the capability of Neolithic societies for navigation owing to their high technological level. This technology was an essential part in the success of their expansion, bearing in mind that in a few millennia they occupied the whole Mediterranean from Cyprus to the Atlantic seaboard of the Iberian Peninsula.

本研究以新石器时代地中海航行所用船只、船只建造的技术专业化水平，乃至其年代序列为核心切入点，探讨地中海地区的新石器时代航海活动。在简要介绍这一特殊考古遗址拉·马尔莫塔（La Marmotta）后，本文将讨论该聚落出土的5艘独木舟，以及与1号独木舟相关的一件航海器物的特征与年代信息。借此可深入探讨新石器时代社会依托其先进技术水平所具备的航海能力。须知该航海技术正是其扩张取得成功的关键要素之一——在数千年间，这些人类社群的活动范围从塞浦路斯延伸至伊比利亚半岛大西洋沿岸，覆盖了整个地中海区域。
