2024 Call for Papers

Inland Seas, Rivers and Canals

With the conference held in the Niagara Peninsula it is fitting that the overall theme for the event concerns the Great Lakes, rivers, and canals that allow the movement of ships from the ocean into the heart of the North American continent. The route has played a crucial role in exploration, transportation, trade, and war across both the region and time. Throughout Canada, rivers allowed the movement of raw materials from wood and wheat to iron ore and the goods they made, nationally and globally. The inland waterways were the sites of settlement for First Nations and later settlers, serving as the link to supplies, commerce, and invasion. Canals, for defence and trade, were the giant engineering projects of their age, reshaping the land and communities through which they passed.

CNRS/NASOH invite people to submit proposals for papers at the 2024 conference on the topic of maritime history in relation to inland seas, rivers, and canals. Potential areas include, but are not limited to, exploration, ship building, canal construction, waterways, and conflict, shipping in relation to a specific trade, harbours, the fresh water fishing industry, and more. 

The conference conveners are also open to proposals on maritime-related subjects beyond the conference theme. Proposals that have an interdisciplinary approach are most welcomed.

Session and individual paper proposals should include: A) title; B) abstract, not exceeding 500 words; C) a 250 word biographical statement; D) contact information, including phone number, address, affiliation, and email.  Please submit this information as a single Word document, single-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, and not as a PDF. Accommodations for PowerPoint presentations will be provided; any other requirements, including audio-visual equipment, special outlets, or accommodation for disabilities should be included in the proposal.  Please note that all participants must register for the conference.

Panel proposals of no more than 3 papers are highly encouraged.  

This conference will have hybrid capabilities for international presenters (not including the United States or Canada).  If you are international and wish to present via zoom, please indicate in your proposal.  There will be additional opportunities to attend virtually as well.  

The deadline for proposal submission is February 1, 2024.  Please submit proposal packets electronically to the Program Committee care of Thomas Malcomson, at mailto:CNRSNASOHBrock2024conference@gmail.com 

Student travel grants

Students may apply for a Chad Smith Travel Grant to assist in travel to present a paper at the conference. Additionally, each year NASOH bestows the Clark G. Reynolds Student Paper Award to the author of the best graduate student paper delivered at the conference.  Please see the awards section of the NASOH website for details. https://nasoh.org/student-awards  Students wishing to be considered for either award must indicate so as part of their paper proposal.  

Canadian students are encouraged to apply for the CNRS’s Gerry Panting Award for New Scholars to assist with expenses associated with traveling to the conference. Details for this award are available at: https://www.cnrs-scrn.org/books_and_awards/panting_e.html.

Students cannot apply for both the Chad Smith and the Gerry Panting Award. 

PhD Research Grant in Prehistoric Archaeology

PhD position in the HORIZON Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) Doctoral Network ArCHe “Archaeological Coastal Heritage: Past, present and future of a hidden prehistoric legacy”

Project description:

A third of the land area occupied by Paleolithic human groups in Europe was drowned by the sea level rise after the Last Glacial period and the coastal settlements of Paleolithic hunter-gatherer groups are today placed below current sea level. The first goal of PhD2 is to explore the feasibility of identifying and analysing archaeological remains from these periods left on the Continental Shelf floor of Atlantic Europe, a matter still unexplored. Multidisciplinary research focusing on new technological approaches such as Topas sub-bottom profiling, multibean echosounder or XRF core scanning makes this possible and might trigger a real revolution in the knowledge of Prehistory. Brittany, Aquitaine, northern Spain and Estremadura and Alentejo in Portugal are targets to address this issue from a comparative approach. The continental shelf of Atlantic Europe holds some particularly promising features: 1) In some areas (e.g.  Cantabria, Aquitaine, Alentejo) the density of the hunter-gatherers’ settlements near the current coastline is among the highests in Europe, suggesting the existence of a much larger network of settlements reaching out on the now flooded shelf. 2) In northern Spain and Portugal, the narrowness of the continental shelf reduces the area to be explored and places the prehistoric sites at short distance from the modern coastline, more accessible for survey. 3) In some areas with a sub-seafloor karst, archaeological sites that are similar to the well-known cave and rockshelter sites known from today’s inland might exist. PhD2 will undertake multidisciplinary searches of places in the selected regions to locate evidence of prehistoric human activity using ROVs and scuba diving techniques. Advanced digital mapping and environmental reconstruction techniques will be applied to identify and investigate locations prone to human settlement, to study of the landscape and coastline evolution, and the environmental setting of the hunter-gatherer’s groups. As another goal, the new results from Atlantic Europe will be compared to the situation in Norway, where Late Paleolithic and Mesolithic sites are preserved on dry ground. Similarities and differences in Stone Age land-use in these regions will be discussed. Thirdly, PhD2 will strongly contribute with new insights to the preservation of the coastal and submerged archaeological heritage, and will provide a powerful instrument for the future management policies.

Expected Results:

1) Detailed analysis of the evolution of the sea level in the Atlantic areas studied. 2) Localization of submerged Stone Age sites. 3) Spatial analysis of the late Paleolithic and the Mesolithic settlement of the selected region, including currently emerged sites. 4) Analysis of the diachronic evolution of the human activity in a coastal region from the Magdalenian to the transition the Neolithic. 5) A comparison of a Norwegian and an Atlantic region. 6) Catalogue of coastal and submerged sites and risk maps. 7) Improvement of the methodology for underwater survey and recording of Stone Age sites. 7) Contribution to the creation of a good-practices code for the analysis and preservation of coastal and submerged sites. 8) Definition of criteria for heritage management in coastal areas and the continental shelf.

Bulgaria: Nessebar Underwater Archaeology

The Bulgarian Underwater Archaeology field school provides a comprehensive training in underwater archaeological methods through participation in an ongoing research project: discovering the submerged heritage of ancient Mesambria, present-day Nessebar (UNESCO World Heritage Site) on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast. Today, significant parts of the ancient town are below sea level. Remains of fortification walls, towers, staircases, gates and other structures from Classical and Hellenistic period, Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages were traced in various sectors around the peninsula. The dynamic coastal landscape of the town makes it an ideal location to experience multiple aspects of maritime archaeology. Students will be trained  in various underwater archaeology and interdisciplinary practices: underwater reconnaissance survey, archaeological excavations, underwater photography, photogrammetry and 3D modeling, mapping and recording of submerged archaeological structures and monuments, marine geophysical survey, creating a GIS database, etc. Our research aims to fill in the gaps in our knowledge of the fortification system of Mesambria and its harbors, the changes to the coastal landscape and the fluctuation of the Black Sea level in Antiquity and the Middle Ages, and the societal reactions and adaptations to these changes. This program aims to broaden the knowledge and refine the skills of participating students, and thus enhance their career in Maritime Archaeology.

This is an underwater Cultural Resource Management (CRM) field school. It is designed to train students for the specific needs of marine CRM and as a job training program. Students seeking training in academic underwater archaeology may participate but need to understand that the program will have significant concentration on compliance, legal frameworks of marine CRM and immersion in consultation practices.

2024 US PA Lake Erie

Cultural Resource Management, the legally required management and protection of our shared heritage, requires archaeologists to do more than just archaeology. CRM requires an understanding of legal frameworks, professional ethics, consultation, and project management. Conducting CRM in an underwater environment also requires specialized skills in marine remote sensing, landscape reconstruction, and, occasionally, SCUBA diving. This field school teaches the skills of underwater Cultural Resource Management through research on the submerged landscapes of Lake Erie. This program will not focus on shipwrecks (the more academic side of marine archaeology) but on understanding submerged landscape as this is the mainstay of Marine CRM work and where the greatest need for trained marine CRM professionals is. The skills taught in this course are similar to those employed in CRM to identify sites prior to offshore energy (wind, oil, and gas) development. This course is appropriate for students interested in both Cultural Resource Management and traditional academic archaeology in an underwater environment.

Until approximately 4,000 years ago, Lake Erie was lower than it is today, leaving large swaths of the modern lake bottom open for habitation. During earlier times, the lake basin contained two smaller lakes connected by a wetland and stream. This mixture of environments would have been attractive to humans, and the quick filling of the basin likely preserved sites in situ. By combining marine remote sensing, geoarchaeology, and Indigenous knowledge, we will identify areas on the lake floor that likely contain submerged habitation sites.
