Franchthi Cave Evidence Pushes Back Seafaring Roots
American archaeologists in Greece uncover evidence at Franchthi Cave that seafaring may date to 7500 to 7000 B C, a thousand years earlier than previously known. Dr. Thomas W. Jacobsen of Indiana University notes continuous occupation from upper paleolithic through neolithic, with radiocarbon dating supporting early dates. Obsidian and large fish bones found below 7000 B C fuel the navigation claim.

Evidence Links Obsidian to Aegean Melos in Ancient Fishing Project
Archaeologist Jacobsen notes obsidian sources are limited and sent samples to England showing Melos as the origin. He argues Franchthi Cave inhabitants built boats, aided by fish vertebrae evidence indicating offshore and deep sea fishing beginning around 7,500 to 7,000 B.C. near Nafplion in Greece.
