Ancient ocean crossings : reconsidering the case for contacts with the pre-columbian Americas

Paints a compelling picture of impressive pre-Columbian cultures and Old World civilizations that, contrary to many prevailing notions, were not isolated from one another, evolving independently, each in its own hemisphere. Instead, they constituted a ""global ecumene,"" involving a complex pattern of intermittent but numerous and profoundly consequential contacts.
