Summary The Atlantic peninsulas of western Europe present intriguing cultural parallels that reach back into later prehistory. Furthermore, direct evidence of interconnections from the fifth millennium BC is revealed by the movement of specific materials such as Iberian variscite. Brittany and Galicia were key nodes within this potential network of maritime interaction, but debate continues as to the routes that were chosen and the navigational abilities involved. Did early seafarers keep close to the coast and did long journeys involve many intermediate landfalls? Or did crews venture direct crossings of the Bay of Biscay? In the absence of surviving evidence for the kinds of vessel likely to have been used by Neolithic seaborne navigators, modern wind and current data are here used to generate models indicating journey times for small sea-going craft powered only by oars, following the coastal or the direct route. The results are discussed within the context of selected material flows (jadeitite, variscite, copper, Beakers) and against a background of potentially changing maritime technology.

比斯开和超越？两个Finisterres之间的史前航行

总结西欧的大西洋半岛呈现出有趣的文化相似性，可以追溯到后来的史前时期。此外，通过特定材料（例如伊比利亚变方石）的移动，揭示了从公元前五千年开始相互联系的直接证据。布列塔尼和加利西亚是这个潜在的海上互动网络中的关键节点，但是关于所选择的路线和所涉及的航行能力的争论仍在继续。早期的海员是否靠近海岸，长途旅行是否涉及许多中间登陆？还是机组人员冒险直通比斯开湾？在没有新石器时代海上航行者可能使用的船只种类的尚存证据的情况下，这里使用现代风和当前数据来生成模型，该模型指示仅由桨叶驱动的小型海上航行器沿着沿海或直接路线的航行时间。在选定的材料流（硬玉，杂方，铜，烧杯）的背景下，并在潜在的海事技术变化的背景下讨论了结果。
