Marine fish remains are not common in Middle Stone Age (MSA) sites in Africa. There are currently only two known MSA sites with good organic preservation in South Africa that contain marine fish remains in relatively high numbers: Blombos Cave (BBC) and Klasies River main site (KR). Marine fish exploitation is considered by some researchers as a marker of modern human behaviour, requiring cognitive and technological capacities thought to have only appeared after 50 000 years ago, during the Later Stone Age (LSA).

Full textDenna master uppsats är ämnad som grund för vidare utveckling av metoder för digital marinosteoarkeologi. Det huvudsakliga syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka och problematisera problemen kring at lokalisera, dokumentera, och analysera skeletala kvarlevor vid marinarkeologiska, och andra svåråtkomliga lokaler. Tre olika slags osteologiska analyser utfördes: en baserad på analyser av skeletala kvarlevor, en annan baserad analyser av 2D dokumenterade skeletala kvarlevor, och en tredje baserat på analyser av 3D rekonstruerade skeletala kvarlevor. Det sekundära syftet uppsatsen var att problematisera den tafonomiska påverkan på kroppar, kroppsdelar, och ben i marina miljöer, nödvändiga för utvärderingen för de olika metoderna. Analyserna har utförts på källmaterial som tillgängliggjorts genom forskningsprojekten för skeppen Mars och Gribshunden, Statens Maritima Museer i Sverige, Sandby borg projektet, och Catalhöyük projektet. Utöver detta har även en studie utförts tillsammans med åtta frivilliga osteologistudenter vid Campus Gotland, Uppsala Universitet, under en seminarieövning. Resultaten som samlades in genom de osteologiska analyserna av de tre olika källmaterialen och student studien användes för att kunna understryka den datavariation som fanns tillgänglig för de olika källmaterialen. Resultaten användes för att skapa en grund för framtida digitala dokumentationsmetoder som kan appliceras i fält. Det sekundära syftet med studien besvarades genom att använda skeppen Mars och Gribshunden som exempel för att kunna diskutera den begränsade mängden skeletala kvarlevor som hittills hittats vid de marinarkeologiska lokalerna.

Full textThis bachelor's thesis is intended to lay the ground for future osteological documentation and analysisof the skeletal remains from the naval ship Mars, and is conducted with the project Skeppet Mars(1564). The main purpose of this thesis is to examine and problematise the possibility to analysedigitally documented skeletal remains in a marine context. In order to evaluate the possibilities andlimitations of performing an osteological analysis, a small analysis was conducted on the digitallydocumented skeletal remains collected from the naval ship Mars so far. The analysis showed that anosteological analysis can be performed on digitally documented skeletal remains, there are, however,limitations of performing an analysis on a two dimensional documentation. The secondary purpose ofthis thesis is to discuss and highlight how skeletal remains are affected by marine sediment* andbrackish/saltwater over a long period of time. An additional goal for this thesis is to discuss how ahypothetical retrieval and conservation of the skeletal remains of the naval ship Mars shouldpreferably be performed.

Full textGotland har ett rikt materiellt kulturarv från stenåldern till medeltiden tack vare öns strategiska läge i mitten av Östersjön. Särskild är detta tydlig för vikingatiden då gotlänningarna hade handelskontakter österut. Sedan mitten av 1100-talet dominerades den gotländska ekonomin av kontakterna med tyska handelsförbund vilket också får nedslag i de materiella källorna. Denna uppsats behandlar Gotlands maritima infrastruktur och dess utveckling mellan ca. 1100 och 1400 utifrån en fallstudie av båtnitar från den medeltida bosättningen Västergarn. Syftet är att studera framväxten av Västergarn som ett maritimt samhälle vid Gotlands västkust och hur Västergarn utvecklades som en hamn. Hade Västergarn möjlighet att bestämma 2 över sin egen ekonomi, dvs att kontrollera de externa kontakterna och interna handeln mot övriga Gotland? Vilken roll spelade skeppstrafiken och användningen av skepp för Västergarn ́s ekonomi? Går det att dra slutsatser utifrån det omfattande nitmaterial om platsens maritima organisation och infrastruktur? Vilka försörjningskedjor med omlandet kan ha existerat som möjliggjorde en sådan verksamhet? Vilka professionella färdigheter och kunskaper fanns på plats? I avhandlingens analytiska del etableras och diskuteras ett klassifikationssystem för Västergarn ́s nitmaterial och jämförs med annan litteratur om båtbyggningsteknik från övriga Skandinavien, i synnerhet Östersjöområdet. Resultat av studien tyder på existensen av ett båtvarv huvudsakligen för reparation av klinkbyggda skepp. Vidaregående slutsatser om hur sjöfarten särskild efter att klinkbyggda skepp ersattes av koggar påverkade Västergarns ekonomi och vidare existens som hamn går däremot inte att dra.

Full textLamboglia 2 are among the most common Italic amphorae of the late Roman Republic in the Mediterranean basin and sometimes far beyond. They have also been found on nearly 150 shipwrecks in the Mediterranean. This thesis focuses on two such shipwrecks, known as Qaitbay 1 and Sa Nau Perduda. They shed new light on two themes: the typology of Adriatic amphorae during a transition period in their evolution, and the existence of a production of Lamboglia 2 in Campania. The first part of my thesis summarises the available data on typo-chronological issues, workshops and the spread of Lamboglia 2 by sea routes, through an inventory of shipwrecks. The second part deals with the study of the cargo of the Qaitbay 1 shipwreck lying off Alexandria. The cargo consists mainly of Lamboglia 2 produced in Picenum, accompanied by Dressel 6A from the same region, Brindisian amphorae and Campanian Lamboglia 2. The third part concerns this last type of amphora, which is still poorly known. It is based on a comparative approach of several shipwrecks, including that of Sa Nau Perduda located in the province of Girona. To this day, it is the only known example of a principal cargo of Campanian Lamboglia 2

Full textBeside this short history of underwater archeology in Egypt which is described in this work, similar experiences in the Mediterranean are much older, they go back to the fifteenth century with the discovery of a wreck from the first century AD, in Lake Nemi, later, the recovery of some objects from the ancient wreck of Anticythère in 1901 by the Greek fishermen of sponge, and the discovery in 1907 of the Roman wreck of Mahdia in Tunisia, are remarkable in the field of underwater archeology. But the underwater archeology has developed with the invention of the aqualung by the French Jacques-Yves Cousteau and the engineer Emile Gagnan. This invention caused a revolution in the field of underwater activities in 1942-1943. Then the underwater discoveries in the Mediterranean were succeeded and increased for more than a half century, and many countries around the world decided the establishment of an archaeological service specifically dedicated to underwater activities. This study focusses on management policy of underwater archaeology in Egypt, in the light of other experiences in the Mediterranean, in order to draw attention to the importance of the Egyptian underwater archaeology through a study in details of the activities of the Supreme council of Antiquities in Egypt and of the different foreign missions working in Egypt and to propose an effective protection policy of underwater cultural heritage in Egypt, also to develop the tourism of underwater archaeology, and to transform these vestiges in an economic vector, while ensuring an adequate protection by specific legislation that does not exist yet in Egypt

Full textThis thesis is built around two main subjects: the first pertains to the question of improving the technics of study related to the reconstitution of ancient ships following a renewal of in tools utilized for the task. The second subject is linked to the production of additional information on the nautical qualities and the sailing capabilities of the hypothetical reconstituted ships based on the analysis of virtual models. We applied this program to four wrecks: a Greek wreck from the archaic period dated to the VIth c. B.C., Jules-Verne 7, two Roman wrecks from the Ist c. A.D., Napoli A and Napoli C, and finally to a late roman period wreck from the Vth c. A.D., Dramont E. For each wreck, the study is divided into two separate sections that are closely related and interdependent. First, we sought to define one or more valid hypotheses based rigorously on the remains preserved and on various elements of comparison (iconographic and ethnographic parallels, literary sources). Thereafter, we planned a simple analysis of some physical characteristics of the reconstituted ship focusing on its various draughts, displacements and transversal stability according to different distributions of weights and volumes. This focus on the characteristics of the hypotheses of reconstitution allows us, to some extent, to outline in broad terms the utilization programs and the navigational areas of the original ships. We intend in this way to focus on the ship as a functional system, but also and especially as the main vector of ancient maritime trade in the Mediterranean

Full textRiver deltas began forming around 7000 years BP because of the stabilisation of the mean sea-level. The natural variety of wetland environments on clastic coasts, in particular deltas, explains in major part the important disparities in harbour contexts. The combination of earth sciences with archaeological tools allows us to investigate the environmental evolution of four ancient sites located on deltas. We investigate 7000 years of environmental changes on the Kuban delta (Taman Peninsula, Russia). A coring, from the eastern limit of the peninsula, and its comparison with other geoarchaeological studies undertaken on the delta, allow us to confirm that the Holocene marine transgression created an archipelago of four islands around 6000 years ago in the area of the present-day Taman Peninsula. In Antiquity, natural factors such as delta progradation and the evolution of spits and sand bars have considerably affected the landscape evolution and therefore human occupation of the peninsula. At Tel Akko, (Haifa Bay, Israel), we reconstruct the evolution of the coastal zone of the site since the Bronze Age. We propose different harbour locations over time. At Pollentia, a Roman city of Mallorca, we have been able to demonstrate that the harbour was situated in a shallow lagoon, probably dredged at the time of its foundation. At Halymris (Danube delta, Romania), our research supports the presence of a secondary fluvial-channel located close to the fortress where the harbour may have been installed. The fortress, located at the foot of a promontory, was protected from floods and provided easy access to the main channel of the river

Full textThis Ph D explores relationships between history and underwater archaeology in order to study the martime risks in West Indies through the example of Guadeloupe. Shipwreck phenomenon is presented as a prism to analyze maritime aspect of Guadeloupe history during the time of sailing, from the end of 17th to first half of 19th century. The study is based on a archivaI analysis of administrative correspondence and surveys in marine archives and French kingdom main ports linked with West Indies. Shipwreck is defined through an quantitative study of losses : quantity, frequency, localization, chronological spread. This point of view permits to qualify the this phenomenon as serial but low regarding to the maritime activity, This fact is not a lack in order to use this event as a reading key of an American French colony, its economy and society. About 550 shipwrecks have been recorded from the end of 17th to first half of 19th century, thi represents less than 1% of maritime activity of the colony .. This phenomenon is mainly a coastal and a port event, linked with climatic hazard as hurricanes, but the study focused also on others causes . The objective is to set up a losses' typology dealing with ships types, functions, cargos, and crews. The perception of losses risks (seafaring conditions, wrecks dangers and climatic hazards) is presented in order to analyze relationships between risks and means in order to prevent them or reduce their consequences. Different projects from first hydrographical missions during 18th century to first ports building projects at the beginning of 19th century have been studied in order to establish if they answer the losses risks

Tiboni, Francesco. "La navigation en Méditerranée occidentale pré-archaïque." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016AIXM3069.
Full textThis research deals with the analysis of the evidence of maritime means of transports in use in the Western Mediterranean sea between the birth of the human navigation and the First Iron Age. Starting from a general revision of the local naval iconography of the period, based on a reassessment of the evidence coming from many archaeological sites placed between the Adriatic Sea and the Southern Spanish coasts, the study shed a light the existence of many different regional traditions that date back at least from the Bronze Age. The possibility to identify these traditions, as well as to examine them from a diachronic point of view, allows the author to state that we cannot think about an introduction from the east of the concept of maritime navigation. During the prehistory, particularly from the Bronze Age, the local cultural groups of this area seem in fact to have already developed good naval attitudes and capabilities. Even the analysis of the local iconography in the light of the technological elements that we can isolate on the Mediterranean wrecks of this period seems to confirm the existence of these local traditions. Unfortunately, the lack of a good number of direct evidence pertaining to wrecks do not permit us investigating these technological traditions. Thus, we cannot not identify the architectural families of the earliest phases; we can have an idea of their existence only in correspondence with the presence of Greeks and Phoenicians merchants and ships

Full textThe thesis is devoted to the study of Ancient Egyptian boatbuilding during the Late Period (722-332 BC). Iconographic, epigraphic and archaeological evidence on the subject being so scarce, the thesis is based mainly on a recently acquired archaeological data. Underwater excavations by the European Institute of Underwater Archaeology (IEASM) in Egypt allowed locating more than sixty ships dating from the 11th to 1st century BC in the harbour area and channels of the submerged city of Thonis-Heracleion. At least eighteen of these well-preserved ships are dated to the Late Period. The construction of ship 17 that has been studied during three excavation seasons (2009-2011) constitutes the main subject of current thesis. The considerable volume of new data allows not only to consider in detail the construction of the ship in question but also to propose several general conclusions on the constructional principles and methods characteristic to the Late Period. Many of these are unique to the Ancient Egyptian boatbuilding tradition as is the choice of local wood species for the construction. New archaeological data is compared throughout the research to existing iconographic, epigraphic and archaeological evidence. It is necessary to underline the importance of the description by Herodotus (“Histories” II.96, c.450 BC) of the local Egyptian ship “baris” as it corresponds well to the construction of ship 17. First version of the three-dimensional model of this ship allows estimating its major technical characteristics. The thesis proposes a comparison between the Late Egyptian and contemporary shipbuilding traditions of the Mediterranean

In spite of the diversity of populations that inhabited the region, our work is focused on Tupi linguistic branches speakers, precisely, on those associated with Tupinambá groups (language and culture). Aiming to understand that process, a detailed study of the history and activities performed in Santa Marina archeological site was developed, in addition to an accurate analysis of pottery and lytic artifactual sets. Besides that, we looked over the sources at hand for the region. The actions outlined during this work allow us to understand the means those people used in their constituting process and broadening of their social-politic domains through centuries, along the valeparaiban landscape.

I worked mostly on the trade's nature and intensity occurring in this part of the Mediteranean in this time. In order to carry out my work properly, I established a new catalog of greek shipwrecks, that I then confront with textual, epigraphic and archaeological sources. The careful study of the ship's cargo takes part in a better understanding of the commercial actors, trading network and above all of the importance of Athens at this time

Full textDuring the Late Woodland period (AD 1000-1500), the area of the mouth of the Saguenay River was exploited by groups of St. Lawrence Iroquoians in search of marine resources, especially seals. These groups probably originated from the Quebec City region where their villages and permanent settlements were and thus developed a form of adaptation to the marine resources of the Estuary, making them the most mobile Iroquoian group in the St. Lawrence Valley. In this study, we propose that the exploitation of marine mammals was practiced in two stages, first in the Spring, during short periods by male hunters attracted by Harp seals and then in summer, by whole families taking advantage of gray and common seals. Pinnipeds were probably hunted on the foreshore or on the ice pack, with an ax or bow and arrow. Since the dishes cooked in the vessels consisted mainly of fish and land mammals, it is assumed that seal by-products were brought back in the Quebec City region and used as supplies, as raw material or as goods to exchange. We also propose the hypothesis that these excursions into the Estuary were not necessarily related to the precariousness of agriculture in the region of Quebec, since this practice was adopted later, after AD 1300 and perhaps even after AD 1400. The data used in this thesis are derived mainly from six sites located on a coastal strip extending over nearly 40 km. These sites are Ouellet (DaEk-6), Anse-aux-Pilotes-IV (DbEj-7), Cap-de-Bon-Désir (109G), site archéologique des Basques-de-l'Anse-à-la-Cave (DbEi-5), Pointe-à-Crapaud (DbEi-2) and Escoumins I (DcEi-1).

Full textMarine geophysical techniques can be successfully applied to underwater archaeology, speeding up survey and making it possible to detect features of archaeological interest lying on the seafloor or embedded in sediments even beyond conventional diving limits. There are two general approaches regarding the application of these techniques in underwater archaeology: they are being used to identify, locate and map (a) ancient shipwrecks and (b) submerged sites of archaeological interest (ancient settlements, ports, man-made structures and palaeo-shorelines), thus enabling the palaeogeographic reconstruction of coastal areas. The applicability of marine remote sensing techniques in underwater archaeology is high-lighted through the current study case. In the framework of the geo-archaeological research project “Cissa Antiqua”, directed by the University of Zadar and Centre Camille Jullian (CNRS) a detailed marine remote sensing survey was carried out by the Laboratory of Marine Geology and Physical Oceanography of the University of Patras in Caska bay, Pag island, Croatia. The data collected by high resolution 3.5kHz subbottom profiling and towed E.G&G dual frequency (100 & 500kHz) side-scan sonar system have been analysed for the objectives of this study. According to the 3.5kHz profiles, the upper 12m of sediments consist of three distinct seismic sequences overlapping the gentle folded acoustic basement. The results of the seismic data in correlation to the present coastal geomorphology of the area suggest that these sequences correspond to phases of inundation by brackish water, before sea-water flooded the gulf, as consequence of the rapid sea-level rise of the Holocene. Furthermore, archaeological and geological data of the area suggest an episodical co-seismic submergence during the last 2 kyrs. The side-scan sonar survey revealed a large number of targets lying on the seafloor. Six of them have been selected by TargaAn software as targets of potential archaeological interest.
