Abstract:
Very little published information is available on the scientific identification of wood species used in the construction of boats in ancient Egypt. This paper deals with the scientific identification of wood species used in the construction of the deckhouse, canopy, and forecastle of King Khufu’s second wooden boat (4th Dynasty—Old Kingdom) in detail. This paper also discusses the principal technological characteristics of the identified woods, considering specifically their utilization for construction of the deckhouse, canopy, and forecastle. Almost all the woods used in the boat’s deckhouse, canopy, and forecastle were made of two imported species of wood (Cedrus libani A.Rich. and Juniperus sp.), with two native species (Ziziphus spina-christi (L.) Willd. and Vachellia sp.) also identified. The analysis most surprisingly revealed the presence of Ziziphus spina-christi (L.) Willd. in 25% of the analyzed forecastle samples, which was discovered for the first time for making cross beams in the construction of boats in ancient Egypt. Another intriguing aspect of the boat’s construction is the presence of Juniperus sp., which surprisingly showed that almost 85% of the analyzed samples were Juniperus sp., used in the deckhouse’s boards, frames, and cross beams. The data let us examine the specific employment of the wood species used in the parts of the boat, which evidenced that the identified woods were suitably used for the construction of the different parts of the deckhouse, canopy, and forecastle of the boat.

Abstract:
Abstract Ancient texts are too often approached using modern assumptions. Among those assumptions obstructing an understanding of ancient texts is the modern emphasis on originality and on writing as intellectual property. Ancient writers relished repetition—stories that were repeated in succeeding generations—over originality. The Bible is full of repeated or allusive stories, and the Book of Mormon often reinscribes this biblical emphasis on repetition. One such biblical reverberation in the Book of Mormon is Nephi’s ocean voyage, which evokes biblical stories of origination: creation, deluge, and exodus. These three stories of beginnings are carefully alluded to in Nephi’s own foundational story, exactly as we would expect an ancient Hebraic text to do.

Abstract:
Hedgehogs held a special place in ancient Egyptian life like many other desert- and marsh-dwelling animals. Their natural defensive qualities were admired by ancient Egyptians and their bodily parts, notably their hardened spines, were used as ingredients in medico-magical prescriptions. In tomb reliefs of the late 3rd Millennium BCE, hedgehogs are represented being carried alive by offering bearers or as background participants in desert hunting scenes. In later periods of Egyptian history, rattles, small unguent vessels, and scaraboid amulets were made in their shape, all of which are presumed to have had apotropaic purposes. A particular votive object of the Old Kingdom (c. 2686–2181 BCE) is a palm-sized modelled boat with a prow in the shape of a hedgehog head, which has been discovered at sites throughout Egypt. A similar representation of this motif is the so-called ‘Henet’-boat (from the word ḥnt[j]) with a hedgehog head at the prow facing inwards, which is found in late Old Kingdom art. This article reassesses the role of hedgehogs as protective or apotropaic entities and their association with boats, considering how ancient Egyptians understood their ecology and their predation of snakes, scorpions, and similar stinging creatures. An updated list is provided of known representations of hedgehog-head boats, including petroglyphs and as yet unpublished examples from tombs at Giza and Saqqara. The meaning of the ancient Egyptian word ḥnt(j) is also rexamined in relation to the representation of riverine and marsh-water boats in Old Kingdom tombs.

Abstract:
Abstract Jukung is a type of traditional fishing boat used as transportation for fishing activities in Muncar, Banyuwangi, which has a wave as high as 2 m with a period of 4.6 s which is classified as 2nd sea state. One of the boats used has a length of 7.2 m, width 0.75 m, and height of 0.8 m. The characteristics of the hull which with an L/B ratio of 9.6 require outriggers to help balance while sailing. The outrigger itself is a cylindrical component that is placed at a certain distance on both sides of the boat. Since ancient times, the construction of outrigger boats has been carried out by local artisans by relying on experience. This is certainly very risky because it is not known for certain whether the construction, in this case, the outrigger can keep the boat stable. For this reason, we researched the boat’s motion using the CFD method to provide a reference for the construction of the outrigger design. Using one of the existing boats with LOA 7.2 m, B 0.671 m, and H 0.8 m, and Vs 4.385 kt as a simulation model, we varied the outrigger-centerline distance by 2.5 m and 2.8 m; diameters of 90 mm, 120 mm, and 150 mm; which tested under conditions of full load and light load with the wave directions of headsea (180°), headquarter (135°), and beamsea (90°), resulting in Response Amplitude Operator (RAO) as follows. The model with an outrigger-CL distance of 2.8 m and diameter of 150 mm has the lowest heaving value of 0.02 m/m at a frequency of 4.1 rad/s from the headsea direction, 0.44 m/m at a frequency of 3.7 rad/s from the headquarter direction, and 0.4 m/m at a frequency of 6.2 rad/s from the beamsea direction. This model also has the lowest value in pitching and rolling responses from all directions with each value of 0.4 rad/m to 0.15 rad/m in pitching and relatively 0 rad/m in rolling responses.

Abstract:
Transportation through water body is the cheapest and the most important way of transportation system in human life. Eritrea has a wide range of coastal area along Red Sea and it is obvious that those people who live in the coastal area were used to fishing. Wood is one of the easiest and ancient materials that have been utilized for the construction of boats and it also remains as a favorite one for many professionals, but the boats which were constructed of woods were much heavier in their light weight, therefore they couldn't carry more loads. Scarcity and high price of the timber along with the high annual repair and maintenance cost will reduce the income of the boatmen and also increased consumption of timber will results in faster deforestation. In this situation, various alternative materials like ferrocement, aluminium, fibre reinforced glass and fibre reinforced concrete has been used as an alternative material for construction of boats. So, our first work in the fabrication of the boat is to choose the alternative material for fabricating a vessel. Plywood has lots of advantages like they are stiffer than boards of equal thickness of regular lumber. Due to the stiffness of the plywood panels, weight can be saved by replacing the regular lumbar by plywood, which is an important problem faced in both power and sail boats. Fiber glass along with resins has many advantages like thermal insulation, electrical insulation, reinforcement, heat and corrosion resistant and easily recyclable for future purposes. This technique of fabrication will give good results by reducing the problems with leakage and bio fouling of hull surface due to marine growth such as barnacles and in turn which increases the life span of the hull surface of the boats. So this work will be useful for those communities who are working with the boats for their transportation and fishing activities and it also improves the standard of the fisherman and their activities. By design and constructing a boat with plywood and FRG, the quality and standard of the boat will be improved along with a certain degree of safety. As a student of marine engineering department, this research work increase the knowledge about design software’s like solid works and delft ship, design parameters of a vessel and all the fabrication procedures of the boat by using fiber reinforced glass in combination with plywood.

Abstract:
As the "Cultural Capital of East Asia" and one of the starting points of the Maritime Silk Road, Quanzhou has nurtured a long-standing maritime culture, and the prosperity of maritime trade cannot be achieved without exquisite shipbuilding techniques.In July 2021, "Quanzhou: China's World Maritime Trade Center in the Song and Yuan Dynasties" was successfully declared a World Heritage Site. More and more local intangible cultural heritage in Quanzhou is being paid attention to and protected, and the watertight, compartmentalized Fujian ancient ship is one of them. The Fujian ancient boat is the Quanzhou people's contribution to maritime culture, with deep cultural heritage, a major invention of China's ancient shipbuilding technology, high artistic and aesthetic value, and a unique connotation; we must excavate and protect it as part of our intangible cultural heritage. In order to better understand the connotation of watertight compartment Fujian ancient ships, the author conducted several field studies in Fengwei Town and Quanzhou City, the birthplace of watertight compartment Fujian ancient ships. This paper explores the artistic value of Fujian's ancient boats in Quanzhou, Fujian, and their extended development from the perspective of art design.

Abstract:
Small-scale fisheries (SSF) is a local and community-based activity that can be traced back to ancient times, and thus, closely related to the history of humankind. However, large-scale fisheries have grown tremendously, approaching an industrial sector in the last century, due to their socio-economic and political properties, including both national and international aspects. This progress towards industrial-scale fisheries led to the involvement of scientific research, first aiming to improve production efficiency, and then, to protect ecosystems as resources exploited for fisheries activity, by mitigating their adverse impacts. During this evolutionary progress, SSF was usually neglected because of their limited production ability, and thus minimal economic contribution, until the later phase when the protection of ecosystem resources gained sufficient importance. As a result of this, many countries lack data on SSF, undermining efforts for the creation of proper policies for this type of fisheries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the productivity and the effects of some demographic characteristics, boat structures, and some cost (input) items on the net profit of SSF in the Black Sea. The eligible sample for this study consisted of 5575 small-scale fishing boats in the Black Sea. The number of fishers to be surveyed was determined as 315 using the “Simple Random Sampling” method, based on operators of boats < 12 m, i.e., boats in the SSF. Questionnaires were conducted face-to-face with fishers. In this study, it was tested if six parameters were investigated to determine whether they had a significant effect on net profit in SSF. These parameters were: (1) engine power; (2) number of fishing days; (3) boat length; (4) consumption of fuel in fishing; (5) education level of fishers; and (6) overall professional experience of fishers. To do so, Simple Linear Regression Analysis was performed to determine the effect of the data considered as independent variables when the net profit was set as the dependent variable. Atlantic bonito, Sarda sarda (Bloch, 1793); whiting, Merlangius merlangus (Linnaeus, 1758); rapa whelk, Rapana venosa (Valenciennes, 1846); and turbot, Scophthalmus maximus (Linnaeus, 1758) were the most important commercial fish species for small scale fishing. When catch per boat in SSF was evaluated, Kırklareli province ranked first with 97 007 kg, with Atlantic bonito (44 778 kg) being the most common species caught. Samsun had the second-largest catch per boat with 91 761 kg. The total net profit of 303 boats was calculated as €1 794 938 and the mean net profit per boat was €5924. The highest per boat mean net profit (€25 909) was in Kırklareli. According to the results of the study, the number of days at the sea, boat length, engine power, and fuel cost had a significant effect on the net profit while education level and professional experience were not important in productivity. The economically-fragile SSF sector may need some kind of supporting subsidy. It would be beneficial to provide support to the majority of fishers active in the SSF in terms of complementary alternative employment opportunities in the regions where they are located.

Abstract:
Excavations conducted in A.D. 1894 and 1895 by French archaeologist Jean- Jacques de Morgan at the funerary complex of the ancient Egyptian Middle Kingdom pharaoh Senwosret III on the plain of Dahshur revealed some unparalleled finds which included five or six small boats. These boats provide a unique opportunity in nautical archaeology—to study contemporaneous hulls. Today, only four of the "Dahshur boats" can be located with certainty; two are in the United States, one in the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh and one in the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. The remaining two are on display in The Egyptian Museum, Cairo. Since their excavation these boats remained relatively inconspicuous until the mid-1980s when a study of the two hulls in the United States was conducted. However, the two boats in Cairo remained largely unpublished. This thesis combines personal observation and recording of the Cairo boats over two summers to reveal more unique characteristics of the hulls and will facilitate a future study of the group as a whole. Each boat is discussed individually and is further divided into its major components by order of construction.

Resumo: A pesquisa demonstra que Platão, no diálogo Leis, possibilita a efetivação da arte política por meio do cuidado da alma em sua natureza e disposição (I, 650b). A reflexão sobre a disposição da alma dar-se via mito da marionete, em que Platão descreve a guerra no interior do homem; mostra como lidar com a tensão entre o vício e a virtude provocada pelo prazer e dor; e postula axiomas determinando a natureza das relações amorosas e o cuidado que se deve ter com as afecções da alma. Platão elabora nas Leis uma Constituição a partir da problematização de três questões: o simpósio, a sissítia para as mulheres e a procriação, que propicia instituir um novo éthos que fará do cidadão da pólis onde será fundada em Creta, uma marionete a serviço das divindades (I, 645b). Assim, realizamos em nossa tese uma reflexão no âmbito da filosofia platônica sobre a tripla relação entre o homem, a divindade e a lei, enquanto possibilidade de realização da arte política
Abstract: This research shows that Plato, in the Laws dialogue, enables the operation of political art through the care for the soul in its nature and disposition (I, 650b). A reflection on the disposition of the soul occurs by means of the puppet myth, in which Plato describes the war inside man, showing how to deal with the tension between vice and virtue caused by pleasure and pain; and postulates axioms determining the nature of love relations and the care we must have with the soul's affections. Plato elaborates in Laws a Constitution stemming from three questions: the symposium, the sissitia for women and procreation, which provides the institution of a new ethos which will turn the citizen of the Cretian polis into a puppet to the service of the divinities (I, 645b). Thus, in our thesis, we reflect, in the scope of platonic philosophy, on the triple relation of man, the divinity and the law, while there is the possibility of realizing the political art

This dissertation deals with a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to the socio-economic relations between the Ancient Near East and East Africa during the Old Testament period. In my opinion this multidisciplinary approach by using inter alia Biblical Archaeology, History and Economics has the potential to offer various comprehensive opportunities for the analysis and discussion of such socio-economic relationships. For example, the relationship between the United Monarchy of Israel and Phoenicia involves the geopolitical, economic and other situations. In the last chapter attempts are made to integrate all the relevant dimensions in a wellfounded conclusion.

Abstract:
This dissertation discusses logistical aspects of the Persians invasion of Greece; the Athenian need for timber for building warships; supply problems in their assault on Syracuse; and the march of Alexander's army from Macedonia into Asia. The amount of cereals needed by the Persian and Greek armies and navies is calculated from modern nutritional data and an estimate of the numbers of combatants. The location and size of the Persian food dumps; the excavation of the Athos canal; and the ships and materials needed to build the bridges of boats are considered. The Athenian need for ship-timber led to the costly occupation of Amphipolis. An assured supply of cereals was one motive for the disastrous Sicilian Expedition. The Athenian fleet was an inefficient long-range support for an army which had to protect its non-combatant sailors. This was realised by Alexander the Great, who crossed the Hellespont without naval support.

Abstract:
This dissertation is rooted in one general question: what can the wood from ships reveal about the people and cultures who built them? Shipwrecks are only the last chapter of a complex story, and while the last fifty years of nautical archaeology have managed to rewrite a number of these chapters, much of the information unrelated to a ship’s final voyage remains a mystery. However, portions of that mystery can be exposed by an examination of the timbers. An approach for the cultural investigation of ship timbers is presented and attempts are made to establish the most reliable information possible from the largely unheralded treasures of underwater excavations: timbers. By introducing the written record, iconographic record, and the social, economic, and political factors to the archaeological record a more complete analysis of the cultural implications of ship and boat timbers is possible. I test the effectiveness of the approach in three varied casestudies to demonstrate its limits and usefulness: ancient Egypt’s Middle Kingdom, the Mediterranean under Athenian influence, and Portugal and the Iberian Peninsula during the Discoveries. The results of these studies demonstrate how ship timbers can be studied in order to better understand the people who built the vessels.

Abstract:
AbstractThe ability of humans to colonize islands in the ancient past required centuries of innovation in boat construction and the development of increasingly sophisticated seafaring technologies and wayfinding strategies. Nowhere is this more evident than in the vast expanse of the Pacific, where around 3000 years ago, Micronesian and Polynesian voyagers colonized what were arguably the most remote and difficult places to reach on Earth. Because the biota on these islands evolved for thousands, or even millions of years, high rates of endemism in these environments also made them ecologically fragile. The first arrival of Homo sapiens—the ultimate adaptive omnivore—caused a wide variety of impacts that were amplified by an order of magnitude with Euro-American incursion. In this sense, as aquatically bounded places, islands serve as model systems and microcosms for how humans have affected the earth’s biosphere in the modern age. In this chapter, I document how the first island colonizers caused certain levels of ecological destruction, using Hawaiian and New Zealand birds as primary case studies. However, I take this concept further, suggesting that the processes involved in the prehistoric colonization and settlement of islands is also a corollary for how we can view the earth and future efforts to colonize other planets. Humanity is at a global tipping point, with unsustainably high human population impacts, habitat destruction, climate change, and recent pandemics. As the possibility of extraplanetary migration becomes an increasing reality—perhaps a necessity to ensure our survival—what lessons can be learned from the anthropological and archaeological study of islands as we seek new lives beyond terra firma? What are the possible consequences for our lineage and extraterrestrial life on this planet and beyond?

Abstract:
For centuries, fast-growing species such as reeds and herbs have been used by ancient cultures to build a wide range of objects from handicrafts to huts and rafts. Several communities worldwide still use these kinds of plants as part of their traditional materials and building techniques. One of these species is totora (Schoenoplectus californicus) which grows in lakes and ponds in the Americas from California to Chile and some Pacific Islands. The most important examples of the use of this plant in the world are the group of floating islands of the Uros in Lake Titicaca and indigenous communities of the Andes, where local peoples have been using totora for more than 500 years applying mechanical joining techniques such as weaving and lashing to build their houses, boats, and utensils. This study focuses on developing new strategies supported by current technological possibilities for joining totora stems using mechanical means to produce building elements and study how the different parameters influence the mechanical properties of the parts made with these techniques.

Abstract:
В наскальном искусстве Тувы представлен определенный набор образов, сюжетов и композиций, характерный для каждого хронологического периода, который придает определенное своеобразие данному региону Центральной Азии. Безусловно, есть много общего с соседними регионами. Для образов и сюжетов есть определенные иконографические схемы, а в композициях устойчивая встречаемость отдельных элементов. Это позволяет говорить об их определенной семантической значимости, а значит, о возможности интерпретации, используя древние нарративные источники, этнографические параллели и аллюзии из других изобразительных текстов. Образы это козлы, олени, кони/лошади, кабаны, хищники, быки, антропоморфные фигуры, колесницы. Сюжеты сочетания олень и оленуха , олень и охотник , козлы идут по дороге и т.п. Композиции сочетание нескольких сюжетов на одной плоскости: сцены терзания, преследования, охоты, шествия животных и т.д. Rock art of Tuva is featured with a specific set of images, subjects and compositions, typical for each chronological period which gives a certain identity to this part of Central Asian region. Of course there are a lot of similarities with neighboring rock art areas. Images and subjects follow to the certain iconographic schemes. Constant occurrence of details presents in compositions. This allows us to speak about certain semantic meaning of those compositions and due to that about possible interpretations, using ancient narrative sources, ethnographic parallels and allusions from another graphic texts. Most common images include animal figures such as goats, deer, horses, wild boars, predators and bulls, as well as anthropomorphic figures and chariots. Subjects are like stag and fawn, deer and a hunter, goats walking by the path and others. Compositions mean conjunction of several subjects within a single rock panel scenes of torment, chasing, hunting, processions of walking animals, etc.
