Public talk: Shipwrecks, the marine environment and museums

Public talk: Shipwrecks, the marine environment and museums

What if a shipwreck could tell us as much about the ocean today as the people who sailed it centuries ago?

For decades, maritime archaeologists have studied underwater cultural heritage, especially shipwrecks, to learn more about the people of the past and our historic connections to water. More recently, archaeologists and ecologists have begun looking more closely at the environments surrounding these shipwrecks – helping to develop the emerging field of maritime heritage ecology.

As the ocean faces growing pressures from climate change and other environmental threats, this broader understanding is becoming more important than ever. The UN Decade for Ocean Science and Sustainability (2021-2030) is encouraging new approaches to marine research, bringing different fields of study together and placing greater emphasis on ‘ocean literacy‘.

Maritime museums and exhibitions have long told stories of human exploration, trade and life at sea, but the ocean itself has often remained in the background. By combining storytelling around shipwrecks and shipwreck ecology, museums can not only offer a deeper picture of the ocean and its heritage, but also inspire people to care about its future.

About the presenter

Charlotte Jarvis is a maritime historian and archaeologist based at the National Maritime Museum, Netherlands, researching topics from early modern wooden shipbuilding to threats to Ocean Heritage. She holds degrees in maritime archaeology from Texas A&M University and history from Durham University and specialises in bringing archaeological research into the museum’s exhibitions.

She has research and excavation experience across the Atlantic world and her previous research included alcohol consumption at sea and the archaeological footprint of Dutch bottles on shipwrecks; superstition at sea; women’s work on early modern Dutch shipyards; and marine climate change with an interest in early modern sailors’ beliefs and how we can use history to inform environmental policies. She is part of the Ocean Decade Heritage Network, the Advisory Council for Underwater Archaeology, the International Congress of Maritime Museums, and works with the UNESCO 2001 Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage.

As well as having knowledgeable and dedicated colleagues, you’ll have an opportunity to access a variety of fascinating and high-profile projects and develop your skills and knowledge along the way.

The role – what’s involved?

We are looking for talented, driven and enthusiastic individuals at all grades with a desire to share and learn new skills and further develop the capacity of our established geoarchaeology team.

Geoarchaeology refers to the archaeological resource contained within geological deposits. This can include archaeology (often deeply buried artefacts and layers) and environmental remains. Assessing and interpreting these requires a collaborative and multi-disciplinary approach, combining archaeological, geological, geophysical and palaeoenvironmental techniques. Our team comprises geoarchaeologists at all stages of their career, including specialists of international standing in marine, Pleistocene/Palaeolithic and Holocene geoarchaeology. Our team comes from a variety of backgrounds in archaeology, geoarchaeology and Quaternary science, and has varied skills and specialisms, from stone tool identification through to pollen analysis.

Due to continuing levels of demand for our specialist services, we are looking for talented, driven and enthusiastic individuals to join our established team at all grades with a desire to share and learn new skills, and further develop the capabilities and capacity of the Geoarchaeology team as part of the Commercial Services Directorate.

We are particularly keen to appoint a candidate at senior/principal level with demonstrable experience in Palaeolithic archaeology and Pleistocene stratigraphy. Investigation of Pleistocene deposits with potential for Palaeolithic archaeology forms a key element of our portfolio and we are keen to expand our specialist offering in this area.

You may be an archaeologist who has some experience of geoarchaeology, has a willingness to learn and a desire to develop a career path in geoarchaeology. We are also interested in recent graduates or postgraduates in relevant subjects who want to start their career in geoarchaeology.

You will have the opportunity to work on a range of projects, including Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects connected to renewable and energy infrastructure, water supply, flood alleviation and coastal defence, and peatland restoration. Our works involve the monitoring of ground investigations (trial pits and boreholes), standalone geoarchaeological borehole surveys and test pitting, as well as other intrusive works alongside colleagues in archaeological fieldwork, consultancy, and marine services. Work will also involve the laboratory-based description, interpretation and sub-sampling of borehole and monolith sequences.

Successful candidates will contribute to and lead on interpretation and reporting, including input into desk-based assessment, deposit modelling and fieldwork, and post-excavation assessment/analysis reports. Existing experience in post-excavation geoarchaeological techniques, such as deposit modelling, is not essential as opportunities will be provided to build expertise in this area through individual training and mentorship.

Archaeological Conservator of Marine/Waterlogged Artifacts: Consultant – Student/ Young professional in in laboratory processing of museum objects

https://www.unjobnet.org/jobs/detail/unesco-consultant-student-young-professional-in-in-laboratory-processing-of-muse-87872490

The full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation has resulted in the destruction of Ukraine’s cultural infrastructure and critically undermined the institutional capacity of cultural institutions. More than 2,000 cultural infrastructure facilities (libraries, museums, theatres, cultural centres, art schools) have been damaged or destroyed.

As a result of the destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant on 6 June 2023, as well as the ongoing shelling of the city of Zaporizhzhia and the Dnipro Hydroelectric Power Plant, the staff of the Khortytsia National Reserve faced urgent challenges in safeguarding cultural heritage.

UNESCO provided immediate support to the Reserve following the destruction of the Kakhovka HPP in June 2023 by supplying conservation materials, financing emergency repairs to the facilities used for preserving rescued artefacts, supporting restoration training programmes, procuring essential equipment for the digitization of the collection, underwater research, and archaeological monitoring missions in affected areas.

Within the framework of the new UNESCO project, “Emergency Measures at Khortytsia National Reserve, in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine”, generously funded by the Government of Sweden, Activity 5 – Professional Training and Apprenticeships for Young Professionals – includes the recruitment of students to strengthen the Reserve’s team and support its ongoing cultural heritage protection efforts, namely restoration and conservation works on rescued objects.

The initiative is aimed at strengthening conservation and restoration work on artefacts uncovered as a result of changes in the water level of the Dnipro River, as well as on items from the museum’s permanent collection.

This work is essential for safeguarding cultural heritage, ensuring its long-term preservation, and maintaining its accessibility for future generations and research purposes.

DELIVERABLES

Direct participation and acquisition of practical experience in the stabilization and preliminary conservation of archaeological objects under field conditions during hydroarchaeological investigations in the Dnipro River channel near Khortytsia Island and within the territory of the Velykyi Luh (the area of the former Kakhovka Dam);
Participation in the conservation and stabilization of a medieval monoxyl boat (dugout canoe) in the condition of “waterlogged archaeological wood,” as well as other ancient wooden navigation vessels and artifacts whose underwater investigation and recovery are planned for the 2026 season;
Involvement of students in, and acquisition of skills related to, the restoration of 12 metal archaeological artifacts discovered in the Dnipro River during underwater archaeological research;
Carrying out work as part of the Restoration Department of the National Reserve “Khortytsia” to ensure proper preservation conditions for cultural heritage objects, specifically watercraft-related monuments and artifacts, in preparation for their relocation and evacuation under wartime conditions.
The selected Consultant is expected to submit regular progress report for UNESCO approval.

The Call for Papers for the SHA 2027 Conference on Historical and Underwater Archaeology is now open

Posted On: 05/01/2026

Dear SHA Members,

The Call for Papers for the SHA 2027 Conference on Historical and Underwater Archaeology, January 6-9, 2027 in Austin, Texas is now available for download on the SHA website at https://sha.org/2027-conference-austin-texas/. Please review the information in the call for papers and then follow the link on the Conference web page to submit abstracts for symposiums, forums/panels, or individual papers and posters.

The conference theme, Reflection on the Power of Place, invites you to consider how locations both create and conversely are shaped by culture. Through various forms of storytelling, collective action, and events, places can become powerful expressions of identity. In exploring this theme, we recognize that our inquiries are deeply rooted in the unique and diverse histories and identities of the places we study. The vast region that we today call Texas has served as a powerful anchor to Indigenous communities’ cultural and spiritual practices for millennia. Communities such as the Alabama-Coushatta, Caddo, Carrizo/Comecrudo, Coahuiltecan, Comanche, Karankawa, Kickapoo, Lipan Apache, Tonkawa, and Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo have and continue to define its cultural landscape.

Beyond that, Texas has seen many flags shape and reshape its culture and history. Between the Spanish and French Empires, the Mexican and Texas Republics, the United States, and the Confederacy, the geographic region that is Texas has long served as a backdrop through which global history has played out. Texas’ sense of place is embodied through its symbolism, architecture, and iconic landscapes. Its material record reflects the place-bound stories of those who experienced, responded to, and negotiated life within its boundaries.

The year 2027 marks the 60th anniversary of the SHA annual conference, an event that was born deep in the heart of Texas. Texas has played a role in some important firsts in the society’s history: the first annual conference was held at Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas in 1967. The organizing committee is excited to host the SHA conference back where it all began in Texas, and we look forward to reflecting on the influence that Austin and the state of Texas have on the future of archaeological praxis.

The Call for Papers will close on June 30, 2026. If you need assistance with submitting your abstract for the 2027 Conference, please contact the SHA Austin Committee at shaAustin2027@gmail.com or the SHA office at hq@sha.org.

We look forward to seeing you in Austin for the 2027 Conference on Historical and Underwater Archaeology!

The SHA 2027 Conference Committee
