What is the estimated age of the boat?

The baidarkas are not traditional in the north of Rusia, but in the Aleutian isles, in Bering´s sea. Please, change it because I don´t know how. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.77.243.13 (talk) 14:22, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note on Language & Details

[edit]

Hello All,

Please pay careful attention when editing/contributing to use language that is descriptive and do not limit existing descriptive language unless absolutely necessary as source texts on the Hjortspring are largely un-digitized and hard to access unless you live near a maritime museum's library in Scandinavia. This information is for everyone else who cannot access it in any other way. My goal with my own contributions is to use particular language that communicates effectively with as many readers as possible, but also conforms to conventional maritime, archaeological, and anthropological terminology. This gets complicated as many people might best understand the "front and back" of a ship, though it should absolutely be "bow and stern" or "fore and aft"; and in terms of an archaeological site, they might be using "North and South", referring to different ends of the dig, disregarding the actual content of the site. This may seem like a small matter, but to move forward in maintaining and building a high quality article about this very important artifact, I feel it should be seriously considered and discussed.
