Edward Pollard, Jeffrey Fleisher, Stephanie Wynne-Jones
The towns of the Swahili coast of East Africa are widely acknowledged as the remains of a maritime society whose relationship with the ocean was fundamental to their economy and identity. Yet research that links the terrestrial environments of the towns to their adjacent maritime landscapes is rare, and urgently required in the light of marine erosional processes unmitigated by human actions.

Long-Term Corrosion Processes of Iron and Steel Shipwrecks in the Marine Environment: A Review of Current KnowledgeJournal of Maritime Archaeology - Tập 10 - Trang 191-204 - 2015
James D. Moore
Methodologies for examining the corrosion behavior of iron and steel shipwrecks have steadily progressed since the 1970s, but the analytical techniques utilized since then are comparatively site-specific, and the overall quantity of data available for independent review is seemingly limited. Laudable advancements in the fields of maritime archaeology, oceanography, and corrosion science support th...... hiện toàn bộ
Peopling Prehistoric Coastlines: Identifying Mid-Holocene Forager Settlement Strategies in Northern NorwayJournal of Maritime Archaeology - Tập 17 - Trang 131-160 - 2021
Charlotte Brysting Damm, Marianne Skandfer, Peter D. Jordan
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 arch...... hiện toàn bộ
Assessing the Long-Term Efficacy of Geotextiles in Preserving Archaeological Wooden Shipwrecks in the Marine EnvironmentJournal of Maritime Archaeology - Tập 13 - Trang 1-14 - 2017
Anastasia Pournou
Archaeological wood cannot be found preserved in the marine ecosystem unless it is buried in anoxic or dysoxic sediments. These habitats do not allow the growth and activity of wood degraders, and thus wooden shipwrecks can survive within these environments for centuries. However, due to natural factors or anthropogenic interventions wood can be re-exposed to the oxygenated water column, where it ...... hiện toàn bộ
