    • Abstract:
      The authors comment on a paper by archaeologist Håkon Glørstad on the important role of boats, specifically log boats, in the colonization of Norway. They compare the similarities between the climate, physical features, and general coastal environment of western Scotland and south-west Norway. They argue that the exploitation of coastal resources does not require boats per se.
