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.

  • Mentorship from international heritage professionals
  • Opportunities to collaborate across Australia, Pakistan, and the UK
  • Experience contributing to real-world historical investigations

The project is a collaboration of the Australasian Institute for Maritime Archaeology and MaritimEA Research, with support from the Nautical Archaeology Society and funding from Lloyd’s Register Foundation.

While most of the research will take place online, there will be a group of UK-based volunteers working directly with the Lloyd’s Register Archive in London, helping uncover and contextualise materials that are often difficult to access internationally.

This one-year feasibility study aims to lay the groundwork for future citizen-science fieldwork, wider public interpretation projects, and new approaches to sharing maritime heritage with local communities around the world.

We are looking for an independent contractor to provide coordination and research support services for the Colonial Port Development Archive Project. This person should:

  • be based in Australia
  • have access to a computer, the internet and have reasonable online skills
  • be curious about history, archives, or maritime culture

See the position description for more details.

To apply, please submit your CV and a short cover letter (maximum two pages) outlining your interest in the role and relevant experience to education@nauticalarchaeologysociety.org by 20 June 2026.
