if you're interested in the matter (well, since you're part of this group, I guess you are ^-^). Ian Wilson talks in details about Robert Ballard's discoveries in 2000 in the Black Sea, and, from there, discuss what is known about pre- and imediate post-Flood cultures, and addresses precise questions about how people could have migrate (the use of boat, for instance).

What I love about this book is the fact that it's very pleasant to read, in the sense that it's written like a novel, without all the technical words archaeologists tend to use (well, he's an historian, that may be why....). So no need to have a Master in Ancient History to understand this one ;-)

And no, no trace of metal work so far. But hey, when Ryan and Pitman first wrote about their theory, everybody discarded this idea as silly at best, and its authors as lunatic.....we may still be in for more surprises!
