This subject explores maritime societies and industries through the ages. It examines
the range of underwater and terrestrial archaeological resources available, including
shipwrecks and their contents, submerged settlements, Indigenous maritime sites, evidence
for past trade, defence and navigation networks, as well as canals and sites on inland
waters. Various techniques for archaeological, documentary and ethnographic research
on maritime themes are reviewed and in particular the notion of cultural 'seascapes'
is considered as a means of investigation and interpretation.
Learning Outcomes
- demonstrate a knowledge of current practice, history and theoretical approaches in
maritime archaeology;
