CFP: Material Culture and Permeable Frontiers of the Waterscapes: Scales, Relationships and Connections

https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/84477/material-culture-and-permeable-frontiers-of-the-waterscapes-scales-relationships-and-connections

Background

Many scientific approaches have been proposed to understand the historical phenomena of human beings settled in the world’s Waterscapes. The main object of study, material culture, encompasses different types of environments, scales, and actors, which are often understood through interdisciplinary archaeological approaches which includes geoarchaeology, environmental archaeology, or landscape archaeology. However, when Waterscapes are included in the equation, with the presence of seas, swamps, rivers, lakes, lagoons, or reservoirs, the panorama expands significantly, as the theoretical, methodological, and interpretive contributions of maritime and underwater archaeology assume a central role in the study of past human societies and their relationship with bodies of water.

In these contexts, permeable frontiers have historically been configured, where the physical limits between water and land are almost imperceptible, given the constant mobility of human and non-human actors, the diversity of cultural interactions, and the continuous sociocultural flow. Naturally, all this entails an effort to understand social phenomena related to the use and habitation of Waterscapes, in which archaeology is one of several fields which can provide sources of information for this purpose. Thus, such approaches can be formulated at different spatial scales of analysis, where the object of study may range from a shipwreck to an entire region. Ultimately, this must also be examined in temporal terms, where a diachronic understanding of human occupations in Waterscapes becomes the only way to comprehend changes, transformations, adaptations, or continuities in the use of space, while recognizing the relationships and connections that take place there. A study grounded in such a spatiotemporal analytical perspective typically encompasses various phenomena that connect the intrinsic relationship between human beings and the environments they inhabit, influenced, for example, by environmental variations or the intensification of adverse climatic phenomena. Accordingly, the aim of this volume is to compile diverse interdisciplinary contributions that address the topic of material cultures and permeable boundaries in Waterscapes around the world.

These contributions are expected to include innovative theoretical and conceptual analyses that go beyond the implementation of merely technical or technological approaches. In order to provide answers to the significant questions that arise when analyzing spatial social phenomena shaped by the characteristics of Waterscapes and the relationships and connections that define and constitute them.

Marine archaeology training to be held at Herreshoff

https://www.eastbayri.com/stories/untitled,141790

A series of courses offered by the Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Training Program will be held on Saturdays from August 8 through September 12.

Accredited by UNESCO Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage, The Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project (RIMAP) was created in 1992 to include members of the diving and non-diving public in a professionally organized and directed effort to study Rhode Island’s maritime history and marine archaeology. RIMAP is a federally approved 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization with an interest in the maritime history and marine archaeology of Narragansett Bay, the Sounds, the state’s rivers and other inland waters, and how all of these connect Rhode Island to the wider world.

Classes include Introduction to Marine Archaeology, Museums, Preserves, and Sharing Shipwrecks, Basic Artifact Management, Site Mapping, Archaeology of the Classical Mediterranean, Ship Construction for Archaeologists, and Rhode Island in the Revolution.

Trainees must be 2026 RIMAP members. Classes will be held at the RIMAP artifact management lab, Herreshoff Marine Museum on Burnside Street. The lab is on a 3rd floor walk-up. For those who wish to take Intro and who can’t manage stairs, that class will be repeated in Warwick on September 12.

Pre-registration is required a minimum of 3 days in advance of each class. For more information visit www.rimap.org or call 508/635-7951.
