IntroductIon
How did early humans (hominins) rom Arica reach Europe in the Pleis-tocene? Were they conned to the Near Eastern land corridor, or did they cross the Mediterranean? When did seaaring in the orm o deliberate,direct transpelagic crossings begin? When did early humans rst reachCrete, an island or some 5,000,000 years that was until recently thought tohave been inhabited or the rst time only in the Neolithic period? Theseare a ew o the questions posed by recent discoveries in southwestern Crete, where the Plakias Survey project has conducted two seasons o archaeologi-cal reconnaissance, in 2008 and 2009.
