Lecture: Why Underwater? The Importance Of Submerged Landscape Research For Understanding Pleistocene Peoples In The New World

Why Underwater? The Importance of Submerged Landscape Research for Understanding Pleistocene Peoples in the New World

Perhaps most people think of shipwrecks when underwater archaeology is mentioned, but numerous formerly-terrestrial sites have survived drowning in our freshwater lakes and rivers and on our continental shelves. These sites can even be better preserved than their dry counterparts, and in some cases they can help us answer some of the most pressing questions about people in the past. Thousands of Pleistocene artifacts have been discovered in Florida’s rivers and springs, along with some of the best preserved early sites in the Americas. These sites are challenging archaeological models for the peopling of the Americas, and are providing us with information about the lifeways of early Indigenous peoples in the New World.

2024 Nautical Archaeology Training Workshop and MAST Annual Dinner

Join NMGL and MAST as we discuss underwater archaeology techniques and tools. Become a citizen scientist and help preserve cultural heritage.

https://www.eventbrite.com/o/maritime-archaeological-survey-team-12746914142

Shipwrecks have always been sources of wonder and fascination. The documentation of these important pieces of history has been a priority for the National Museum of the Great Lakes and the Maritime Archaeological Survey Team. Over the 20-year collaboration, these two organizations have developed a methodical process to survey Ohio shipwrecks in low-visibility situations. Come be a part of our team; take our three-day training workshop.

Over three days, our Basic Workshop will teach students the basics of surveying a shipwreck. We will cover Ship Terms, Laws and Ethics, Research, Survey Tools, and Trilateration (the technique we use to measure shipwrecks) as well as much more. After two days of classroom work, the training concludes on May 18 &19 at White Star Quarry with in-water training. The workshop is designed for divers and non-divers (non-divers assist on land with data interpretation.) The work is also appropriate for novice divers. At the completion of the class, all students will become members of MAST and be invited to take part in ongoing fieldwork in Lake Erie during the summer. The cost of the class is $140 and covers all materials needed, breakfast, and lunch in April. Please note: this is a three-day class – a full weekend in April with classroom and dry run practicals. Then one of two days in May for in-water practice (May 18 or 19).

We are happy to bring back the MAST annual meeting and dinner this year- for the first time since 2019. Join us for dinner at the Spaghetti Warehouse in Toledo (42 S Superior St, Toledo, OH 43604) for an evening of food, learning, and fun. (Please note that access to the dining room is only via stairs – there is no elevator or lift) Caitlin Zant, a maritime archaeologist, will be joining us to talk about the Adriatic, one of the earliest self-unloaders and the archaeological project she led to study its remains.

“Unloading History: The History, Documentation, and Recovery of the Self-Unloading Schooner Barge, Adriatic

Maritime Archeologist, Caitlin Zant will discuss the history of the Great Lakes first converted self-unloading schooner barge, Adriatic. Explore the shipwreck through underwater archaeology, and subsequent excavation, and removal of the resource from Sturgeon Bay. Hear what was learned about Adriatic’s construction features and adaptation for use, and the process of the vessel’s recovery from the bottom of Sturgeon Bay.”

Caitlin Zant is the Research and Communications Specialist of NOAA’s Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary. Prior to this, Caitlin worked as a Maritime Archaeologist for the Wisconsin Historical Society’s Maritime Preservation and Archaeology Program for over 8 years, after attending graduate school for Maritime Studies at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. Caitlin has been involved in numerous Great Lakes archaeological projects, public presentations, workshops, and outreach events, and has assisted in nominating over twenty-five Wisconsin shipwrecks to the National and State Register of Historic Places. Prior to becoming a maritime archaeologist, Caitlin studied History, Geography, and GIS at Carthage College, in Kenosha, Wisconsin.”

Blue Robotics & Archaeology: A Technology Partnership

Bridging the Past and Future

Blue Robotics, at the forefront of marine technology innovation, is actively seeking a collaborative partnership with an archaeologist. Our objective is to integrate advanced marine technologies, including Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and Autonomous Surface Vessels, into a real-world archaeological expedition. This initiative is dual-purpose: it allows the archaeologist to gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art marine technology, enhancing fieldwork capabilities, and provides us with invaluable insights into the practical application and performance of our technologies in archaeological contexts. Through this partnership, we aim to foster a mutual exchange of knowledge, ultimately benefiting both the field of archaeology and the development of our technological offerings.

Collaborative Approach in Three Phases

Blue Robotics’ partnership strategy encompasses three distinct phases:

  1. Learning and Adapting: The initial phase involves understanding the specific needs of our partnering archaeologist. By placing cutting-edge technology in the hands of experts, Blue Robotics aims to assess the performance of our equipment, identifying how it can answer crucial archaeological questions and pinpointing areas for improvement.
  2. Development and Sharing: This phase focuses on bridging the gaps identified in Phase 1. We commit to developing tailored tools and techniques for archaeology, creating supporting materials, and disseminating these innovations through conferences and publications alongside our partner.
  3. Market Introduction with Impact: Recognizing the niche yet significant market in archaeology, Blue Robotics is dedicated to contributing to this field. The stories and insights gained from archaeological findings are not only academically enriching but also provide valuable context for contemporary technology discussions.

Key Personnel: Tony White and Tyler Buckingham

  • Tony White: As an Applications Engineer at Blue Robotics and having a personal background intertwined with archaeology through his mother, archaeologist Nancy White, Tony brings a unique blend of technical expertise and archaeological understanding to this initiative.

Call for nominations: 2024 Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre Early Career Scholars Prize in Ocean History

https://networks.h-net.org/group/announcements/20024043/call-nominations-2024-jacqueline-carpine-lancre-early-career-scholars

CFP Announcement: 2024 Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre Early Career Scholars Prize in Ocean History

The DHST Commission on the History of Oceanography (ICHO) announces its Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre Early Career Scholars Prize for outstanding papers addressing some aspect of ocean history, which for the purposes of this prize should include attention to knowledge creation or the history of ocean knowledge, broadly construed.

The award aims to provide recognition and support for early career scholars who are contributing to the development of ocean history through their scholarship. Candidates must have recently been awarded a PhD (within the previous 8 years) or have begun the work while enrolled in a PhD or MA program.

Papers must be historical, but in recognition that many disciplines engage the oceans historically and substantively, we encourage submissions from fields across the humanities and social sciences.

Submissions should be in the form of an essay of 7,000 to 10,000 words (including citations and references). Entries should either be of work not previously published or of work published within the last two years (2022 or 2023). In addition to the essay, submissions should include a 500-word pitch (not counted against essay word count) that articulates the contribution of your work to ocean history (see more below).

The award consists of 500 USD book credit from the University of Chicago Press, a cash prize of 300 USD, and a further 200 USD for research costs or travel to present research. The prize committee of the Commission will look for entries that best represent novel and productive perspectives on ocean history. We especially encourage submissions from scholars whose work examines regions that have garnered less attention in the historiography. The winner and any runners-up for the prize will be offered the opportunity to publish their “pitches” on the ICHO blog as part of the “What is Ocean History?” series.

This award is named in honor of Mme. Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre (1933–2022). Mme. Carpine-Lancre played a crucial role in the early establishment of ICHO, serving as its secretary from 1968 until 1997, and later as a vice-president from 1998 to 2011. Her involvement was instrumental in organizing our inaugural international meetings, completing the publication of congress proceedings, and developing the ICHO newsletter. Her extensive scholarship contributed broadly to the history of oceanography in Monaco and France, the history of polar oceanography, and the history of seafloor mapping. However, her impact extended far beyond her published work. She readily offered her expertise and guidance to help nurture the next generation of researchers and played a pivotal role in establishing an international network of historians focused on sharing their knowledge of the marine sciences. Through this award, we commemorate her remarkable legacy by promoting further research on the history of the ocean sciences and nurturing a global community of scholars.

A pitch is a short document created by a writer for a publisher to explain a proposed project (usually a book or article) and why it should be published. As you formulate your pitch on why and how your work contributes to ocean history, we suggest you refer to: the description for University of Chicago book series, Oceans in Depth and to resources on the ICHO website, including the blog (especially the “Why Ocean History?” post as well as the ICHO shared Zotero bibliography.

To enter the prize competition, please send your submission by 29 February 2024 to: commissionhistoryoceanography@gmail.com

Post Doc: maritime archaeology applied to the evolution of the coastal landscape.

https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/hosting/nantes-universite-msca-pf-2024-hosting-offer-centre-research-archaeology

Gaëlle Dieulefet associate professor from the Centre for Research in Archaeology, Archaeosciences and History (CReAAH) at Nantes Université is looking for postdoctoral candidates interested in applying for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships (MSCA-PF) in 2024.

Maritime landscape, underwater and coastal archaeology, geography, history, marine geoscience, coastal society, island, ocean studies

The Joint Research Unit (UMR) 6566 CReAAH “Centre de Recherche en Archéologie, Archéosciences, Histoire” created in 1991 is an interdisciplinary unit at the crossroads of human and social sciences, environmental sciences and physical and chemical sciences. The project will be part of Team of Archaeology of coastal, maritime and river areas. This team aims to develop innovative coastal observation systems, to gain knowledge of how the coast was occupied and exploited, to understand how coastal, maritime and fluvial landscapes were formed and evolved and how they were developed.

The desired theme is maritime archaeology applied to the evolution of the coastal landscape. There are several possible approaches: 1. the modification of the oceanic coastline by the exploitation of marine resources (adaptation to the environment, resilience, transformation of the territory over the long term); 2. the evolution of navigation practices induced by environmental changes (displacement of port areas, networks, new forms of naval architecture); 3. the diffusion of cultural practices between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans (social and comparative approach, adaptation of practices, empirical knowledge and methods of diffusion).

At this annual conference, the British Commission supports emerging scholars who wish to share their work in a supportive environment and build relations with other maritime historians. We encourage applications from research degree students and warmly encourage participation by independent scholars. Contributions can address all aspects of maritime history in its broadest sense.

It is held in the spring of each year, and the location moves around Britain, as the conference is hosted by a variety of universities and museums and is sponsored by the Society for Nautical Research. 

New Researchers in Maritime History Conference at the University of Strathclyde 22-23 March 2024

The British Commission for Maritime History (BCMH), in association with the University of Strathclyde, warmly invite you to the twenty-ninth conference for new researchers. This annual conference organised by BCMH is supported by the Society for Nautical Research.

Join us at the University of Strathclyde in the heart of Glasgow, a city transformed through maritime trade and shipbuilding from the early modern period onwards. This is an ideal location to hold this annual conference and provides a unique opportunity for new scholars to present their work in a historic setting and in a supportive environment.

As well as papers from new researchers, the conference will also feature a keynote address by Professor Alison Cathcart, Professor of Early Modern Scottish and Archipelagic History at the University of Stirling, who will speak on “The ‘scattered isles in the polar ocean’: Scotland and the sea in the (long) sixteenth century.”
