Thank you for the image. Yes, stitch and glue from way back. I think they used pitch for sealing the joints. Gokstad used stitching as well, in a different way.

The resemblance to the rock paintings is stunning and exciting.

that site has hundreds and hundreds of same-quality drawings from other cultures and time frames, it's worth exploring. I hope it amazes others too.
