The boats were made from the branches of a tree using tools designed 3,000 years ago.
The craft were made by volunteers and have been rowed on the River Nene at Stanwick Lakes in Northamptonshire.
The exercise was part of a £250,000 National Heritage Lottery-funded project to connect the nature reserve with its ancient past.The settlement burnt down less than a year after construction and the population fled, leaving behind their possessions including nine log boats, which were found during a dig.
"That worked fine, and then we went the whole hog and attached all three. The most we had on it was six people," said Dr Dilley.He said one of the things that emerged from the project was the versatility of Bronze Age tools.
