    looks like an interesting project. a very primitive looking boat, I wonder what their basis for the design and joinery details were.

    Tim Severin built a bronze age vessel and sailed/rowed it 3000 miles from Greecs to the far side of the Black sea back in 1988 or so, so this is not the first bronze age vessel replica.
