Abstract


The geomorphological, paleontological and archaeological data concerning the earliest colonisation of the principal islands in the Mediterranean Sea are discussed and evaluated. Corsica and Sardinia could have been colonized in the Lower Paleolithic, during the maximum regression on the sea, using some form of boat. In Cyprus and Corsica the arrival of Man is documented in the EarIy Holocene. The data present would lead to the conc1usion that navigation for long distances out of sight of the coast took place in a period prior to the Neolithic.
