Nomadisme maritime préhistorique en Méditerranée ?

In the Mediterranean, as elsewhere, more and more numerous evidence plea in favour of an important development of maritime voyaging between the Epipaleolithic and the beginning of the Neolithic. They suggest the existence of social groups with specialised maritime knowledge and know-how, and raise questions about their position in the society at the local and regional levels, about their historical role and about their lifestyle which may be assimilated to a special form of nomadism.
