What is Ancient Philippine Boat Discoveries about?

The document summarizes the discovery of ancient boat planks from two vessels excavated in Butuan City, Philippines. Radiocarbon dating indicates the planks are from the 13th-14th centuries. The planks feature a distinctive style of marine architecture seen from Scandinavia to the South Pacific historically. Analysis of the plank construction, with wooden pegs and protruding lugs for lashing ribs, allows reconstruction of the type of plank-built boat used in classic Philippine society.
