If you like this sort of thing, track down the book The Sea-craft of Prehistory by Paul Johnstone. Unfortunately, not available on libgen but may be possible to borrow with an archive.org account or a good library. Published in the 1980s, it broadly summarizes global archaeological evidence to that date and breaks down the major boat-making techniques and their variants and limitations. A particularly well written, clearly illustrated and enjoyable book which I found to be extremely accessible and interesting. Expensive to buy though, used copies ~$120+ Boat building with adzes must have really sucked, but imagine the feeling to a prehistoric human taking their own boat on the open ocean for the first time, especially if they had a sail, invented around this time. On that note, Wikipedia confidently states The invention of the sail was a technological advance of equal or even greater importance than the invention of the wheel, which incidentally is thought to have been invented roughly around the time of these boats. Evidently, rock and sail > rock and roll. The late neolithic - what a time to be alive!
