Modern shipwrecks act as a hidden pollution risk, as they may release toxic components into the environment depending on the state of preservation. These sites act as open systems, with the exchange of material (sediment, water, toxic fluids and solids) and energy (wave, tidal, storm) across system boundaries. Formation processes at these sites are therefore driven by a combination of chemical, biological and physical processes. Around the coastlines of Europe, numerous WWI and WWII wrecks are slowly corroding, acting as nuclei for environmental contamination. WWI wrecks are also increasingly recognized from an archaeological perspective. The UNESCO 2001 Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage provides protection for sites over 100 years old and strongly emphasises the use of non-destructive methods. WWI wrecks now fall under the protection of the Convention. Whilst 48 states have ratified the UNESCO 2001 Convention, the Republic of Ireland and the UK have not. In the Republic of Ireland, this is mitigated by blanket protection of all wrecks over 100 years. Consequently, approximately 400 wrecks have become protected and require governmental management. In contrast, the UK lacks blanket protection legislation, relying on the Protection of Wrecks Act (1973) which affords protection only to specific vessels based on their importance. As such, under this legal framework, there is additional pressure to ensure that WWI underwater cultural heritage in UK waters is documented, protected and managed to the best of our abilities.
This PhD project will examine the preservation state and evolution of select WWI wrecks in the Irish Sea. Greater understanding of the physical processes that effect the long term stability and evolution of these sites is paramount in their protection.

Over the course of 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. The workshop is designed for divers and non-divers. The work is also appropriate for novice divers. At the completion of the class, all students will become members of MAST and invited to take part in field work. The cost of the class is $170 and covers all materials needed, breakfast and lunch in April, as well as the dinner program on April 28. 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 19 or 20).
The dinner program on Saturday night is open to the public. It will be the annual meeting of the MAST membership, as well as an excellent presentation by Dr. John O’Shea, Curator of Great Lakes Archaeology at the University of Michigan Museum of Anthropological Archaeology (UMMAA), and the Emerson F. Greenman Collegiate Professor of Archaeology in the Department of Anthropology. He will be presenting “Hunting Caribou Hunters Beneath Lake Huron”, which will discuss his research into pre-historic crossings on the bed of Lake Huron.

VMAP APRIL 2018 PROJECT UPDATE. APPLY NOW!
Vacancies exist for the VMAP Terrestrial Project (no diving) April 2018. More information now at hand. The team will be assisting Dinh Thanh Nga with her MA at Son Hao, exploring Cong Cai to gain an understanding of the area and carry out mapping and continue surveying the sand dunes on the eastern side of Quan Lan Island to investigate pre-historic sites. The team will consider visiting sites in the Thang Loi commune.
VMAP is calling for expressions of interest by those who would like to participate in field work in Vietnam in early April 2018 (Dates to be determined but likely first 2 weeks of April).
WHERE: Following successful field work at Son Hao on Quan Lan Island in the Quang Ninh province, the team will be exploring the Cong Cai area and nearby islands searching for potential sites for future field work as well as the work outlined above.
This investigation will be conducted by archaeologists from the Institute of Archaeology (IA) of the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences of Vietnam in association with VMAP archaeologists and participants.
COSTS: Participants will be expected to arrange and pay for their visa for Vietnam as well as travel insurance and pay for their own airfares to and from Hanoi, Vietnam. Participants will pay a participation fee of US$1,000 or AUD$ 1,200 or 800 Euros. This will be used to cover on-the-ground expenses such as ground and ferry transport, accommodation and food as well as making a contribution to the fieldwork costs. An additional fee may be imposed to cover the costs of boat transport around the islands. This additional fee has not been determined. VMAP is currently seeking a sponsor/benefactor to assist with this expense.
PREREQUISITES: This will be a small team. Participants must be physically fit, have an adventurous spirit, be prepared to work under challenging conditions and have a passion for Vietnamese maritime heritage and archaeology.
The Project Co-ordinator will be archaeologist Bob Sheppard (Heritage Detection Australia in Western Australia). Participants should send an email expression of interest attaching an electronic copy of their cv (as a pdf or in Word format with a maximum of 4 pages) to:
bob@heritagedetection.com.au

ARCHAEOLOGIST OPEN-RANK PROFESSOR SPECIALIZING IN THE WESTERN COASTAL UNITED STATES
The University of California, Santa Barbara, Department of Anthropology, Sociocultural Anthropology, Archaeology and Bioarchaeology (SAAB) Unit, invites applications for an open-rank tenure-track or tenured, Professor appointment to begin July 1, 2018. We seek an archaeologist specializing in the western, coastal United States, who has or can begin upon appointment, an active field program in the archaeology of the California central coast or Channel Islands. Research program should be theoretically and methodological rigorous and complement that of the current archaeology faculty.
The successful candidate will demonstrate ability to teach both introductory and upper-level introductory courses and supervise the UCSB Repository for Archaeological and Ethnographic Collections and Central Coast Information Center. Applicants must have completed a PhD in anthropology or archaeology by the time of appointment. The ability to direct graduate students, publish, and obtain extramural funding are critical requirements.

Methods
The PhD researcher will use an exceptional very high-resolution (circa 5 cm) mutlibeam echosounder (MBES) bathymetric and backscatter data, high-resolution seismics and sediments samples collected in 2015. The researcher will characterize these wreck sites from physical and bio-physical perspectives. Wreck site formation and evolution will be explored through the integration of high-resolution time-lapse MBES surveys and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modelling.
