ACUA Underwater Archaeology Proceedings 2019

ACUA Underwater Archaeology Proceedings 2019 Edited by David Ball & Christopher Horrell The ACUA Underwater Archaeology Proceedings present the current research conducted by academics, avocational archaeologists, students, and resource managers. The papers published in this volume were originally presented as talks in organized conference sessions and are edited print versions of the research presented. They cover a broad range of topics related to underwater and nautical archaeology, from discussions of specific ships and shipwrecks around the world, to the results of scientific research and analysis, to broad-based data management tools and the development of training studies. Making information widely accessible is one of the key missions of the ACUA. The annual publication of the ACUA Underwater Archaeology Proceedings provides a timely outlet for professional research, and an opportunity for students and avocationals to share their work with a wide audience.

Intertidal Shipwrecks

A global array of case studies demonstrating practices for preserving the maritime cultural heritage of vulnerable shipwrecks Shipwreck sites in intertidal zones—the parts of shorelines that are exposed at low tide and covered at high tide—are located within dynamic environments. Periodically uncovered and reburied, these stranded vessels are affected by surf and currents that accelerate the decay of their remains, and their materials are often salvaged. This volume presents 17 case studies from 9 countries on the management of intertidal shipwrecks and strategies for conservation, archaeological research, and public outreach focused on such sites.  These case studies explore topics such as legislation protecting shipwrecks along the Pacific coast of New Zealand, the ways wreck sites in Germany’s North Sea coastline are safeguarded and studied, local community participation in the preservation of shipwrecks along the Patagonian Atlantic coast, and the effects of climate change on sites along the Potomac River in Maryland. Pioneering intertidal resource managers discuss innovative strategies for preventing damage to ships and losses to local maritime heritage. The first volume to examine these sites at varying scales across the globe, Intertidal Shipwrecks is an important resource as climate impacts increase and the role of citizen science programs becomes more significant.
