Oxbow Books Landscape Beneath the Waves: The Archaeological
Book SynopsisAt the end of the last Ice Age, sea level around the world was lower, coastal lands stretched further and the continents were bigger, in some cases landmasses were joined by dry land that has now disappeared beneath the waves. The study of the now submerged landscapes that our ancestors knew represents one of the last barriers for archaeology. Only recently have advances in underwater technology reached the stage where a wealth of procedures is available to explore this lost undersea world. This volume considers the processes behind the rising (and falling) of relative sea-levels and then presents the main techniques available for the study and interpretation of the archaeological remains that have survived inundation.Case studies are used to illustrate particular applications. Finally, a review of projects around the world highlights the varying scale and period of sites concerned. Submerged archaeological sites often include the preservation of fragile materials such as decorated timbers, that shed rare detail on the communities of prehistory; in other cases the features of the landscape context into which they are set can be extraordinarily well-preserved. This is not a book about shipwrecks but about landscapes now lost beneath the waves. It is written for all archaeologists, whether they work on land or at sea, and for all who are interested in the past; it illustrates the shape of the world as it once was and explains why we need to understand it. It offers an easily accessible introduction to the exciting realm of underwater archaeology.Trade Review…a book that deserves to be read by all striving to untangle the complex palimpsest of our landscape. * British Archaeology *this book does much to fill the apparent gap in the market for a sound introduction to its subject at a reasonable price… * International Journal of Nautical Archaeology *As a volume of the Studying Scientific Archaeology series, which is aimed at university students and focuses on the application of scientific techniques to understand the human past, both the style of the book and its content are well suited to a student readership.

Oxbow Books Before the Mast: Life and Death Aboard the Mary
Book SynopsisThe Mary Rose carried a crew of naval officers and sailors, a fighting force of gunners and soldiers, a Barber-surgeon, several ship's carpenters and skilled navigators. Of nearly 500 men, fewer than 40 survived the sinking on 19th July 1545. Trapped by netting, or below deck, they stood little chance, and their bodies and belongings went to the bottom of the sea. Excavation of the hull and contents produced a huge collection of objects that together make up a detailed picture of what life was like on board.Before the Mast explores how the men of the Mary Rose lived, through their surviving possessions; how they were fed; their music and recreation, medicine and provision for illness and injury, as well as working practices: carpentry and maintenance, stowage, navigation and ship's communications. The personal possessions of the crew included religious items, books, fishing lines and weights, sewing kits, money, hair combs, jewellery, knives, musical instruments and many items of clothing. The Barber-surgeon, who had his own cabin, brought on board a fine chest filled with canisters, bottles and pots of ointment and medicines, a variety of surgical instruments and a fine set of razors. Another cabin nearby was clearly occupied by the ship's carpenters whose toolkit included planes, adzes, axes, hammers and drills, as well as pitch pots and special mallets for patching up leaks in the ship's hull. The ship's navigators had the best in sixteenth century compasses. The ship's galley was in the hold and this area in particular produced many examples of wooden and pewter plates, bowls, pots, bread troughs, and tankards, as well as barrels and baskets still containing beef, pork, fish and fruit. The volume also includes an analysis of the human remains providing evidence for the stature and age range of the men most were under 30 their health, and injuries sustained.Before the Mast is now available again in a two volume edition published by Oxbow Books.

Oxbow Books The Wrecks of HM Frigates Assurance (1753) &
Book SynopsisWith the thought of treasure, Isle of Wight islander, Derek Williams researched ancient local wreck records. Top of his extensive wreck list was the 40-gun frigate Assurance lost in 1753 while returning from Jamaica with Governor Trelawny on board, whose story possibly inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write Treasure Island. Derek’s first dive at the western point of the Isle of Wight called “The Needles” put him on top of cannons, various wreckage and Spanish-American “Pieces of Eight”, all scattered at the foot of the rock face. He reported this astonishing discovery to the authorities which resulted in the site being designated the 6th British historic protected wreck site.When the authorities decided that further professional help was needed, author and diver John Bingeman supplied his Portsmouth Royal Naval diving team, and together with David Tomalin, County Archaeologist, developed the full potential of this important site. Over the next nine years John Bingeman’s team conducted annual visits to excavate the site; they successfully recovered 3,471 artefacts including cannon weighing 1½ tons. Some of these cannon post-dated the Assurance, leading to the identification of a second 38-gun frigate, the Pomone, lost in 1811. Her Captain, Robert Barrie’s extensive correspondence was discovered by Paul Simpson to have been archived by Duke University, North Carolina. It features Pomone’s continuous actions during the French Napoleonic wars, followed by his appointment to the 74-gun Dragon when he saw action in Chesapeake Bay during the 1812-15 war with the USA. Returning to North America as Senior Naval Officer Canada, Commodore Barrie made quite a name for himself improving the political relationship between the USA and Canada; he is remembered by the Canadian City named Barrie.Previously un-researched archaeological finds are featured, including the development of rigging blocks, gunlocks, military buttons and ship’s chain pumps, all superbly illustrated, as well as the results of research into numerous other artefacts of the period. Appendices contain the transcripts of the two ship’s court martials and make fascinating reading. Captains seem to be blameless while their navigating officers are held responsible even going to prison. Perhaps not surprising when tried by fellow Captains!Trade ReviewThis book ought to appeal across a wide spectrum of interests, from underwater archeology, to ship wrecks, through the early stages of a single officer’s naval career. It offers information and insights for both the professional and novice in these areas. * The Northern Mariner/le marin du nord *...here is a book which whilst not sparing scientific and technical data is understandable and absorbing to the general reader. * The Britannia Naval Research Association *Table of ContentsThe authors Acknowledgements Foreword by Major-General Sir Martin S White, KCVO, CB, CBE Introduction Part 1: Investigating the wrecks of the Assurance and Pomone 1.

Archaeopress The Hippos of Troy: Why Homer Never Talked about
Book SynopsisThe Hippos of Troy: Why Homer Never Talked About a Horse deals with one of the most famous episodes of the whole of Classical mythology, the Wooden Horse of Troy. Thanks to the analysis of words, images and wrecks, the author proposes a new interpretation of what Homer actually intended when he spoke of the hippos used by the Greeks to conquer the city of Troy. The archaeological, iconographic and philological evidence discussed by the author leads to the conclusion that Homer never talked about a giant wooden horse, nor a war machine. In fact, Homer referred to the use of a particular ship type, a merchant ship of Levantine origin in use in the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age Mediterranean, used to pay tribute to Levantine kings, as well as to trade precious metal around the Mediterranean coast.Table of ContentsPreface ; Introduction ; Archaeology at Troy ; Was it a horse? ; The Naval Dimension of Homer ; The Nautical Dimension of the Homeric World ; Homer as a Source for Naval Archaeology ; The Naval Context of the Homeric Narration of the Last Night of Troy ; The Wooden Horse in Ancient texts ; The original version of the δουρατέος ἵππος of Troy: Homer ; Structural elements of the δουρατέος ἵππος of Troy: Vergil ; The Wooden Horse of Troy in Classical Art ; The Iconography of the Wooden Horse in Ancient Greece ; The Iconography of the Wooden Horse in Rome ; The Hippos Ships in the Ancient Mediterranean ; Textual evidence of the ἵππος ship ; Iconography of the ἵππος ship ; Direct evidence of the ἵππος ship ; The ἵππος ship and the Trojan War ; Why Homer never talked about a horse ; Homer’s words in their proper context ; The deception planned by Athena Pallas ; From the Ship to the Wooden Horse of Troy ; Bibliography ; Ancient Authors

Berghahn Books Museum, Place, Architecture and Narrative: Nordic
Book Synopsis A characteristic trait of the maritime museums is that they are often located in a contemporary and/or historical environment from which the collections and narratives originate. The museum can thereby be directly linked to the site and its history. It is therefore vital to investigate the maritime museums in terms of relationships between landscape, architecture, museum and collections. This volume unravels the kinds of worlds and realities the Nordic maritime museums stage, which identities and national myths they depict, and how they make use of both the surrounding maritime environments and the architectural properties of the museum buildings.Table of Contents Introduction: The Maritime Museum in Time and Space Part I: The Museum in the Landscape and the Landscape in the Museum Chapter 1.

Archaeopress Europe's Lost Frontiers: Volume 1: Context and
Book SynopsisEurope's Lost Frontiers was the largest directed archaeological research project undertaken in Europe to investigate the inundated landscapes of the Early Holocene North Sea the area frequently referred to as Doggerland'. Funded through a European Research Council Advanced Grant (project number 670518), the project ran from 2015 to 2021, and involved more than 30 academics, representing institutions spread geographically from Ireland to China. A vast area of the seabed was mapped, and multiple ship expeditions were launched to retrieve sediment cores from the valleys of the lost prehistoric landscapes of the North Sea. This data has now been analysed to provide evidence of how the land was transformed in the face of climate change and rising sea levels. This volume is the first in a series of monographs dedicated to the analysis and interpretation of data generated by the project. As a precursor to the publication of the detailed results, it provides the context of the study and method statements. Later volumes will present the mapping, palaeoenvironment, geomorphology and modelling programmes of Europe's Lost Frontiers. The results of the project confirm that these landscapes, long held to be inaccessible to archaeology, can be studied directly and provide an archaeological narrative. This data will become increasingly important at a time when contemporary climate change and geo-political crises are pushing development within the North Sea at an unprecedented rate, and when the opportunities to explore this unique, heritage landscape may be significantly limited in the future.

Council for British Archaeology Claimed by the Sea
Book SynopsisFirst discovered by sport divers in the 1970s, the two remarkable seabed finds of prehistoric bronze metalwork described here quickly became a testing ground for the new discipline of underwater archaeology, initially under the leadership of the pioneering maritime archaeologist Keith Muckelroy. A haul of 361 bronzes from Langdon Bay, Kent, represents one of the largest deposits from Bronze Age Europe. Dating to the thirteenth century BC, the collection is diverse in character and originates in various parts of western Europe and the British Isles. The assemblage from Salcombe, Devon covered here is of similar date with a unique combination of types and materials; further finds have since been made at this site.Neither site having yielded any ship’s remains, all possible mechanisms for deposition are reviewed, including erosion of coastal deposits and ritual deposition at sea. Extensive comparative analysis favours the conclusion that the unparalleled Langdon Bay and Salcombe assemblages represent material spilled or jettisoned from boats in trouble.For the first time, maritime archaeologists, period specialists, scientists and coastal geomorphologists, bring together research on these two exceptional sites: history of discovery, evaluation of context and character, detailed scientific analyses and a fully illustrated catalogue. Nineteen further marine finds of Bronze Age metalwork are also documented, models for seaborne exchange are reconsidered and cultural attitudes to the terre/mare interface are discussed.Table of ContentsList of figures List of plates List of tables Abbreviations Acknowledgements Summary, with foreign language translations Foreword: Dover and Salcombe by Colin Burgess 1 Moor Sand and Salcombe Site B, Devon Moor Sand: discovery and exploration by Dave Parham Environment and background Initial discoveries and project mobilisation Archaeological survey The 1982 season Salcombe Site B by Dave Parham, Neville Oldham, and Mick Palmer Sea level history and coastal geomorphology by Roland Gehrels Relative sea level changes Coastal geomorphology Conclusion Terrestrial hinterland of Salcombe by Stuart Needham and Dave Parham 2 Langdon Bay, Dover, Kent Langdon Bay: discovery and exploration by Dave Parham and Martin Dean Environment and background Project mobilisation and initial archaeological survey Archaeological work after Muckelroy Coastal erosion and landscape change by Martin Bates Background Bedrock geology, geomorphology, and coastal erosion Bedrock geology Local geomorphology Coastal processes Summary Humans, landscape change, and geomorphological evolution at the mouth of the Dour Valley Summary Discussion Terrestrial hinterland of Langdon Bay by Stuart Needham and Keith Parfitt 3 The metalwork assemblages: identification, connections, and metal composition Defining the metalwork types by Stuart Needham and Brendan O'Connor Classification of condition Completeness Cutting edge profile(s) Surface feature retention - fine morphology and decoration Condition of breaks Bending, twisting, and other features Langdon Bay Median-winged axes Unattributed axe blade fragments Palstaves Socketed axes and chisels Socketed hammers Socketed hooked knife Tanged-and-collared chisels Awls, rods, and shanks Flesh-hook Spurred ring Pins Bracelets Loop fasteners/fittings Separate rivets Swords, rapiers, dirks, knives Spearheads Ferrules Casting jets, lumps, and small fragments Salcombe (Moor Sand and Salcombe Site B) Palstaves Palstave-adze Strumento con immanicatura a cannone Gold bracelet Gold twisted torc Cauldron handle Swords Unclassified blades - sword or rapier Rectangular block - possible weight Tin lump Iron awl in bone handle?

Springer Nature Switzerland AG 3D Recording and Interpretation for Maritime
Book SynopsisThis open access peer-reviewed volume was inspired by the UNESCO UNITWIN Network for Underwater Archaeology International Workshop held at Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia in November 2016. Content is based on, but not limited to, the work presented at the workshop which was dedicated to 3D recording and interpretation for maritime archaeology. The volume consists of contributions from leading international experts as well as up-and-coming early career researchers from around the globe. The content of the book includes recording and analysis of maritime archaeology through emerging technologies, including both practical and theoretical contributions. Topics include photogrammetric recording, laser scanning, marine geophysical 3D survey techniques, virtual reality, 3D modelling and reconstruction, data integration and Geographic Information Systems. The principal incentive for this publication is the ongoing rapid shift in the methodologies of maritime archaeology within recent years and a marked increase in the use of 3D and digital approaches. This convergence of digital technologies such as underwater photography and photogrammetry, 3D sonar, 3D virtual reality, and 3D printing has highlighted a pressing need for these new methodologies to be considered together, both in terms of defining the state-of-the-art and for consideration of future directions. As a scholarly publication, the audience for the book includes students and researchers, as well as professionals working in various aspects of archaeology, heritage management, education, museums, and public policy. It will be of special interest to those working in the field of coastal cultural resource management and underwater archaeology but will also be of broader interest to anyone interested in archaeology and to those in other disciplines who are now engaging with 3D recording and visualization.Table of ContentsCalibration of Camera Systems for Underwater Photogrammetry - Mark ShortisPresenting Photogrammetric 3D Recording Essays in the Submerged Harbour Infrastructure of the Ancient and Medieval Harbour of Kyllene/Glarentza - Kalliopi BaikaUsing Digital Visualisation of Archival Sources to Enhance Archaeological Interpretation of the 'Life History' of Ships: Case Study of HMCS/HMAS Protector - J.

Sternberg Press Oceans Rising: A Companion to Territorial Agency:
Book SynopsisForty-one thoughtful and generous contributions by artists, scholars, scientists, and ocean activists in response to the rapidly changing oceans.The ocean is rising and with it sea level, water temperature, acidity, algal blooms, and storm surges. Also on the rise are the metrics of accelerated human activity. How are we to fathom the political, aesthetic, and epistemological rise of the oceans from centuries-long invisibilization and forgetting? What ideas and memories do the oceans hold in their depth and reanimate, when the earth’s ecosystems suffer? Asking different questions and using multiple registers of sensing expand the possibilities to engage with the oceanic at this precarious moment and rethink its relations to the terrestrial. Oceans Rising is a companion reader to “Territorial Agency: Oceans in Transformation,” an independent oceanic research initiative commissioned by TBA21–Academy and operating out of Ocean Space in Venice. It offers forty-one thoughtful contributions by artists, scholars, scientists, and ocean activists in response to the rapidly changing oceans. Writing from places of conflict and concern, the contributions reveal the magnitude and urgency of ecological devastation, but more important, they provide alternative narratives that strengthen our knowledge communities and contribute to worldmaking practices from an oceanic perspective.

Viking Ship Museum Large Cargo Ships in Danish Waters 1000-1250
Book Synopsis“A wealthy man in Denmark, citizen of the town of Schleswig, built a large ship at great expense. And the king of the country decided to join company and take part in the profits. And after he had made good half of the costs, he owned a corresponding part of the ship …”The medieval Hanseatic merchants are famous for their maritime trade network, which extended across Northern Europe from the 13th century onward. The rare quote above sheds light on a less known period, beginning in the late Viking Age, when large, elegant cargo ships were built and sailed across the sea by Scandinavian merchants.This volume presents the earliest archaeological evidence for specialised merchant seafaring in Danish waters. The cargo ship-finds of Eltang Vig, Lynæs, Karschau and Haderslev are explored in detail in order to illuminate the technology and style of a dynamic age of maritime enterprise and cultural transformation.

Brill Maritime Claims and Underwater Archaeology: When History Meets Politics
Book SynopsisTo what extent can underwater archaeology and underwater cultural heritage support a State’s maritime claim? Many States have plausibly extended their maritime legislative and executive jurisdiction to the outer limit of the contiguous zone to better protect underwater cultural heritage. However, some States—such as Canada in the Arctic, China in the South China Sea, or Russia in Crimea—are going further, claiming sovereignty over disputed maritime areas or even the high seas. Maritime Claims and Underwater Archaeology, aimed at internationalists and archaeologists, critically assesses these recent practices, reviewing this search for buried sovereignty from a legal, historical, and ethical perspective.Table of ContentsMaritime Claims and Underwater Archaeology: When History Meets Politics Mariano J.
