Aiming to stimulate discussion around the ways in which experimental archaeology is used to support such grand narratives, the authors of this debate critically assess a recent claim for Upper Palaeolithic seafaring in the Japanese archipelago. Here, they argue that creating a boat for which there is no archaeological evidence with generic tools that were not widely available in the region risks a confounding circularity of logic.&lt;/p&gt;
