Ferriby sewn-plank boat tradition as a technological antecedent
Ferriby 1–3 document large sewn-plank craft before the primary interval.
What is the evidence?
observation
Ferriby 1–3 document large sewn-plank craft before the primary interval.observed evidence
Ferriby 1–3 document large sewn-plank craft before the primary interval.The boats provide essential antecedent evidence for British plank-built maritime technology. They are not counted as 1600–800 BCE core events and do not prove uninterrupted use of one boat type across all later centuries.

Confidence describes the stated assessment; it does not certify expert approval. How review works.
Chronology
Dating intervals may describe uncertainty or phases; their width alone does not establish event duration.
2030 BCE–1680 BCE
Precision: calibrated radiocarbon ranges
Chronology model: regionally resolved positive bce
highPositive BCE integers are used; the larger value is earlier. The range preserves archaeological and calibration uncertainty. The boats provide essential antecedent evidence for British plank-built maritime technology. They are not counted as 1600–800 BCE core events and do not prove uninterrupted use of one boat type across all later centuries.
