The basics remain the basics, the need to cross a wet area, using resources available to hand has never changed. I look at this basic wooden track and immediately I recognize it as virtually the same as prehistoric trackways I'd studied; trackways such as those found in the Somerset Levels or Ireland and dating from as far back as the Neolithic. When I see things like this it is brought more sharply into focus how for all our modern trappings we are fundamentally the same as our distant ancestors.
