On June 19, 2023, a new, fourth Monoxylon event began, i.e. the maritime expedition of doc. PhDr. Radomír Tichý, Ph.D. from the University of Hradec Králové, founder of the archaeopark in Všestary. The aim was to experimentally navigate the maritime migration route from the Middle East to Europe, through which agriculture could have spread to us 9,000 years ago. The purpose of these expeditions is to practically verify the different technologies of monoxyl production and their properties during maritime navigation. In the form of an archaeological experiment, they test monoxyl as a type of vessel that may have been used in the spread of early agricultural populations in the Mediterranean 9,000 years ago.
