Engraved nautical illustrations at nineteenth-century sites in The Bahamas are generally associated with African-Bahamian lifeways. Previous studies of the artistic tradition have advanced arguments that are plausible, but conceptualizations of the phenomenon as graffiti establish a priori assumptions that require critical examination. Credible comparative analysis also demands a secure empirical foundation

Salt Exploitation in Roman Histria and Dalmatia: An Introduction to the Archaeological Research Journal of Maritime Archaeology Pub Date : 2022-01-23 Grisonic, Maja
This article summarizes the available information on salt production on the Croatian coast in antiquity. In the Roman world, salt was produced by urban settlements, villas and fish-salting facilities. The majority of Roman villas on the eastern Adriatic shore likely had their own saltpans, from where they extracted salt for their own needs. Salt exploitation and the making of fish sauces were closely

Analysing the Contributions and Longevity of Community Archaeology in the Context of Maritime Cultural Heritage Projects Journal of Maritime Archaeology Pub Date : 2021-12-20 Bell, Makanani, Blue, Lucy
Scholars readily agree community archaeology offers a way to engage non-professional archaeologists in the archaeological process. However, few analyse whether community archaeology projects achieve their goals and contribute positively to involved stakeholders. This article proposes a framework for analysing the contributions and longevity of community archaeology in maritime environments. The framework

Peopling Prehistoric Coastlines: Identifying Mid-Holocene Forager Settlement Strategies in Northern Norway Journal of Maritime Archaeology Pub Date : 2021-12-08 Damm, Charlotte Brysting, Skandfer, Marianne, Jordan, Peter D.
In circumpolar regions, coastlines offer rich constellations of diverse resources and have long been a focus of human habitation. Despite the rich archaeological records that are located along many northern coastlines, there is a relatively limited understanding of the range of factors that informed local settlement strategies. Northern Norway has one of the world’s longest and best-preserved archaeological

Artefacts from the Sabana’s Site: Attempt to Identify a Seventeenth-Century Shipwreck in Venezuela Journal of Maritime Archaeology Pub Date : 2021-11-19 Vargas, Yajaira
The coast of Venezuela plays an important role in the history of colonial occupation, such as pearls exploitation, slavery, settlement and maritime trade, since the beginning of the sixteenth century. The natural morphology of the coast was conducive to the establishment of natural ports. In 2007, a pile of cannons was found by a fisherman in the town of La Sabana to the south-east of the main port

Reconstructing “Lost” Vessels: A Methodology for Applying Photogrammetric Techniques to Historical Photographs Journal of Maritime Archaeology Pub Date : 2021-10-08 Bishop, Daniel E.
This article presents a novel methodology for retrieving three-dimensional geometry from structures that exist only within the historical photographic record. Two shipwrecks that were raised in the early twentieth century are examined as case studies for this methodology. This paper explores the complications of using historical photographs in photogrammetric analysis and demonstrates how the shipwreck

SS Tennessee: A Near-shore Shipwreck from the California Gold Rush Journal of Maritime Archaeology Pub Date : 2021-09-29 Delgado, James P.
The author’s first maritime archaeological project, commenced in 1980, was a multi-year assessment of a near-shore shipwreck, SS Tennessee (1853) in a newly established unit of the National Park System. Reassessing a first maritime archaeological project is a valuable exercise for any archaeologist working in the field. It offers fresh insights as assumptions and conclusions made at the time are challenged

A Trade-Friendly Environment?: Newly Reconstructed Indian Summer Monsoon Wind Stress Curl Data for the Third Millennium BCE and Their Potential Implications Concerning the Development of Early Bronze Age Trans-Arabian Sea Maritime Trade Journal of Maritime Archaeology Pub Date : 2021-09-21 Schneider, Adam W., Gill, Emily C., Rajagopalan, Balaji, Algaze, Guillermo
A variety of philological and archeological evidence indicates that a vast maritime commercial network linking polities in Mesopotamia, the Persian Gulf, and the Indus Valley emerged in the second half of the third millennium BCE (before the common era). Here, we propose that the climate of the western Indian Ocean during the third millennium BCE was an important but heretofore unrecognized influence

Reconstructing the Detailed Proportions of Archaeological Iron Anchors Journal of Maritime Archaeology Pub Date : 2021-09-17 Melchers, Robert E.
Wrought iron anchors recovered from archaeological sites invariably show signs of considerable corrosion loss. This affects cross-sectional dimensions and in turn particularly the bending and shear strength of anchor arms and lower part of the shanks and also the original potential holding power of the anchor. To assist in estimating such loss of strength, herein the amount of corrosion loss for long-term
