The historical importance and archaeological potential of
deliberately discarded watercraft has not been a major feature of
maritime archaeological enquiry. While research on the topic has
appeared since the 1970s as books, chapters, and articles, most
examples have been limited in focus and distribution, and in most
cases disseminated as unpublished archaeological reports (i.e. the
"gray literature".) So, too, has there been a lack of a single
source representing the diversity of geographical, historic,
thematic, and theoretical contexts that ships' graveyard sites and
deliberately abandoned vessels represent. In contrast with much of
the theoretical or case-specific literature on the theme of
watercraft discard, this volume communicates to the reader the
common heritage and global themes that ships' graveyard sites
represent. It serves as a blueprint to illustrate how the remains
of abandoned vessels in ships' graveyards are sites of considerable
research value. Moreover, the case studies in this volume assist
researchers in understanding the evolution of maritime
technologies, economies, and societies. This volume is intended to
expose research potential, create discussion, and reinforce the
significance of a prevalent cultural resource that is often
overlooked.
