I cacciatori-raccoglitori dell'età della pietra viaggiavano verso l'isola di Malta migliaia di anni prima dell'invenzione delle vele.

Le deduzioni ricavate dai reperti archeologici di Latnija riscrivono l'idea che avevamo sulle popolazioni del Mesolitico che si stabilirono stabilmente nell'isola per migliaia di anni.

Tuttavia, ancora non è chiaro perché si spingessero a fare viaggi così lunghi.

7,000-year-old fish traps show hunter-gatherers brought fish to Norway’s mountains centuries before farming

Seven thousand-year-old wooden fish traps found in southern Norway are changing views of life before farming. The finds show Mesolithic hunter-fisher-gatherers moved brown trout into mountain lakes around 5000 BCE....

Malta’s Mesolithic foragers shouldn’t have survived a thousand years on an island that small. New modeling shows the population was too small to be self-sustaining, meaning repeated sea crossings, not isolation, kept them there. 🏝️🧬🌊 #Archaeology #Mesolithic https://www.anthropology.net/p/maltas-impossible-mesolithic

7,000 years before farming reached Scandinavia, hunter-gatherers carried live trout past waterfalls to stock fishless mountain lakes. Newly dated fish traps at Lake Tesse, Norway show planned ecosystem management long before agriculture. 🐟🏔️🦴 #Archaeology #Mesolithic @Antiquity https://www.anthropology.net/p/the-fish-that-shouldnt-have-been
