In the wake of the Jomon: stone age mariners and a voyage across the Pacific
(Book)
"In 1996, anthropologists were stunned by an extraordinary discovery near Kennewick, Washington. Skeletal remains found along the muddy banks of the Columbia River - and radio-carbon dated to between 9,300 and 9,600 years ago - were highly similar to those of the ancient Jomon people of northern Japan. Not only did this finding challenge conventional wisdom about the first Americans, it also raised a seemingly unanswerable question: Could prehistoric mariners have reached North America by crossing thousands of miles of the tempestuous North Pacific in small open boats? A few years later, Jon Turk set out to prove they could have."
"In this remarkable narrative, adventurer and science writer Turk relates his two-year, 3,000-mile small-boat expedition to trace the probable route of the Jomom from Northern Japan to the coast of Alaska by way of Siberia. Along the way, he introduces strong archaeological and anthropological evidence that he was not the first to follow this route."--BOOK JACKET.
