Author Correction: Hunter-gatherer sea voyages extended to remotest Mediterranean islands
Briefly

"The errors referred to one specific element of our study, the regional model of the timing of the Mesolithic to Neolithic transition which was discussed in the Supplementary Information and presented in Extended Data Fig. 1. While we consider it scientifically prudent to issue a correction, we emphasise that the results of this specific part of our analysis (in essence, a summary of radiocarbon dates from the central Mediterranean) are virtually the same as previously published."

Two corrections were made to the regional model of the timing of the Mesolithic to Neolithic transition presented in the Supplementary Information and Extended Data Fig. 1. The corrections do not have a meaningful impact on the overall results. The errors concerned uncertainties of radiocarbon dates in the regional radiocarbon dataset and their reporting. The corrected summary of radiocarbon dates from the central Mediterranean remains virtually the same as previously published. The corrected results continue to mirror the general consensus on the timing of the Neolithic transition in the region. Issuing a correction was judged scientifically prudent despite negligible effects on conclusions.
