A '''dugout''' is a [[boat]] which is basically a hollowed tree trunk.  Other names for this type of boat are '''logboat''' and '''monoxylon'''.  ''Monoxylon'' (pl: '''monoxyla''') is Greek -- ''mono'' (single) + ''xylon'' (tree) -- and is mostly used in classic Greek texts.

Dugouts are the oldest boats archaeologists have found. In Germany they are called '''Einbaum''' (English translation: One tree). Einbaum dug-out boat finds in Germany date back to the [[Stone Age]].

==Africa==
 
The well-watered [[Tropical rainforests|tropical rainforest]] and [[Miombo|woodland]] regions of sub-Saharan Africa provide both the waterways and the trees for dugout canoes, which are commonplace from the [[Limpopo River basin]] in the south through [[East Africa|East]] and [[Central Africa]] and across to [[West Africa]]. [[African Teak]] is the timber favoured for their construction, though this comprises a number of different species, and is in short supply in some areas. Dugouts are paddled across deep lakes and rivers or punted through channels in swamps (see ''[[Makoro|makoro]]'') or in shallow areas, and are used for transport, fishing and hunting, including, in the past, the very dangerous [[Water Transport in Zambia#Dugout canoes|hunting of hippopotamus]]. Dugouts are called [[pirogue]]s in [[Francophone]] areas of Africa.

==Pacific Islands==
 
 
 
In the [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]] Islands, dugout canoes are very large, made from whole mature trees and fitted with [[outrigger]]s for increased stability in the ocean, and were once used for long-distance travel.  Such are the very large [[Waka (canoe)|waka]] used by [[Māori]] who ventured to [[New Zealand]] many centuries ago. Such vessels carried 40 or 50 warriors in sheltered waters or smaller numbers thousands of miles across the [[Pacific ocean]]. In [[Hawaii]], canoes are traditionally manufactured from the trunk of the [[koa]] tree.  They typically carry a crew of six: one steersman and five paddlers.
