Research Fellow (Early Modern Spanish Maritime History)

https://jobs.soton.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=3497426AR

The University of Southampton is seeking to appoint a postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the European Research Council-funded project Uncharted Maritime Worlds (UMW): An Integrated Digital History of Seaborne Trade from European Archives, led by Professor Craig Lambert.

Uncharted Maritime Worlds is a major European Research Council project investigating the development of seaborne trade, shipping and maritime networks from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. It will bring together large quantities of previously fragmented archival evidence from across Europe to reconstruct patterns of maritime activity and develop new ways of analysing the people, ships, ports and trading networks that connected the early modern world.

The Research Fellow will take primary responsibility for identifying, collecting and analysing evidence from Spanish archives relating to maritime trade, shipping and overseas commerce between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. You will undertake extensive archival research in Spain, identify and transcribe early modern Spanish manuscript sources, and extract and structure historical information for incorporation into the project’s integrated digital database. You will work closely with other members of the UMW team to integrate Spanish evidence with archival data collected elsewhere in Europe and contribute to the project’s comparative historical research.

You will have a PhD (or equivalent) in History or a closely related discipline and research expertise in early modern Spain and/or the Spanish Atlantic, maritime or commercial history. Excellent written and spoken Spanish and English, advanced ability to read sixteenth- to eighteenth-century Spanish handwriting, and experience of conducting research in Spanish archives are essential. You will also have experience of extracting and analysing historical information from archival sources and working with historical datasets, databases, or digital humanities methods.

You will join an interdisciplinary research team of historians and digital specialists and will have opportunities to develop your own research and publications within the wider aims of the project, as well as contributing to collaborative publications, conferences, digital resources and other UMW outputs. The position will involve periods of archival research in Spain and elsewhere in Europe.

The post will be based in History in the School of Humanities at the University of Southampton.

For informal enquiries, please contact Professor Craig Lambert at c.lambert@soton.ac.uk.

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.

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.

  • Cross‑reference physical holdings with digital records to identify matches, duplicates, missing digital surrogates, and “orphaned” items.
  • Update CM metadata to accurately link physical and digital assets.
  • Identify and flag any materials marked Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret.
  • Handle and inventory classified materials in accordance with NHHC protocols and the Archives Branch Processing Manual.

Required Qualifications
