Many factors influence the formation of shipwreck sites: the
materials from which the ship was built, the underwater
environment, and subsequent events such as human activity, storms,
and chemical reactions. In this first volume to comprehensively
catalogue the physical and cultural processes affecting submerged
ships, Matthew Keith brings together experts in diverse fields such
as geology, soil and wood chemistry, micro- and marine biology, and
sediment dynamics. The case studies identify and examine the
natural and anthropogenic processes - corrosion and degradation on
one hand, fishing and trawling on the other - that contribute to
the present condition of shipwreck sites. The contributors also
discuss how these varied and often overlapping events influence the
archaeological record. Offering an in-depth analysis of emerging
technologies and methods-acoustic positioning, computer modeling,
and site reconstruction - this is an essential study for the
research and preservation of submerged heritage sites. Co-published
with The Society for Historical Archaeology.
