During a preventive archaeological excavation executed by INRAP as required by the Ministry of Culture were discovered in 2003, in Lyon (France), in an ancient right bank of the river Saône, near the confluence with the river Rhône, six Gallo-Roman (Ist to IIIrd c. AD) wrecks of barges. At the time of the Xth ISBSA (Mainz 2006), we had made a presentation which had highlighted some architectural characteristics particular to these barges « bottom-based » built. These characteristics had been interpreted like « archaeological fingerprints » specific to a regional sub-group of the « bottom-based » shipbuilding Romano-Celtic tradition so called « Rhône-Saône» sub-group. The wreck Lyon Saint-Georges 8 is the only one of the six Gallo-Roman wrecks to being full « plank built ». In addition to its structure lighter than that of the five barges « jointed-monoxylous built », the wreck Lyon Saint-Georges 8 has different form and proportions, in particular a reduced depth. The subject of the ...
Adams, J. & Rönnby, J. (ed) Interpreting Shipwrecks. Maritime Archaeological Approaches
Shipwrecks are a key site-type for maritime archaeological research and their investigations have been prominent in the subject’s development over the last sixty years. At one time their value was often squandered, with anything from cursory surveys to total excavations being undertaken for the same reason George Mallory suggested that mountains were climbed: because they were there. Today it is recognised that the remains of wrecked ships, through their distribution in time and space, their variety and their complexity, comprise one of the richest forms of archaeological source material. This volume brings together researchers who explore the ways in which ships can be understood and interpreted as material culture through their wreck sites, focusing on ships as artefacts, as agents, as technology, as society, as ideology and as symbols, as well as on what they carried and the people who sailed on them. Collectively they show that shipwrecks are not just the preserve of nautical specialists but have wider implications for the understanding of human action and past societies.

Archaeonautica
Thanks to the complete dismantling of the Lyon Saint-Georges 4 shipwreck prior to conservation work, interventions and repairs conducted after construction and before abandonment were noticed. This was a real opportunity for the acquisition of all kinds of archaeological data, ultimately revealing that only 25% of the data is available when the wreck cannot be dismantled. The recovery of this data is the result of a multidisciplinary approach. Conservators, wood specialists, metallurgists, textile specialists, archaeologists were able to describe, detail, and understand all the repairs and to rewrite the ship's maintenance log. The complete dismantling also led to the recovery of a lot of waterproofing material, providing complementary data.

العربي الوطن آثار في دراسات 9-35-and the quality of knowledge they produce on life and activities of people who made and sailed them. The ships as an artefact There are two possible approaches to the study of boats and ships as material culture. They could be studied as objects in their own right, looking into their distinctive technical and functional attributes and materialistic features. Also, they could be viewed as cultural carriers, reflecting the environment, knowledge, material, traditions, organisation and beliefs of their parent societies 3. On the other hand, ships and boats have many characteristics, which distinguish them from most other types of artefacts and archaeological source material. Besides being complex, multifunctional, moving artefacts, what distinguishes them the most is the fact that they are an ideal representative of cooperation and teamwork in many of their characteristics. Building and using boats might have started in its earlier stages as an individual operation, performed by a single person, but soon after, as ships became bigger and more complex, more people were involved in all phases of the ship 's working life, from construction to operation (figs.1, 2). Therefore, shipbuilding and sailing are considered social practices, which require cooperation and coordination between a number of men with different skills and capabilities. Accordingly, a ship is an ideal representation of cooperative social action, which utilising the most advanced and developed skills and knowledge of any society. 3 Hasslöf, O. 1972.

Digitising Wrecks on the Foreshore: The Case of a Seventeenth-Century Wreck in Brittany, France
HAL (Le Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe), 2016
Studying archaeological sites on the foreshore gives rise to its own set of specific problems. Historical wrecks buried in the sands at intertidal zones usually come to our notice through natural erosion or human activities, or both. Such threats affecting the sites can also accelerate their deterioration, even their obliteration. Intertidal wrecks are evidently a precious and irreplaceable testimony of maritime heritage, and yet they are very fragile. It is a real challenge for researchers to find adequate ways to study them. One such study undertaken in France focused on the small tonnage ship known as Erquy-les-Hôpitaux on the Brittany coast. This was a small coaster, which carried mainly lime mortar and foundered in the seventeenth century. In 2015 DRASSM, France's Underwater Archaeology Research Department, conducted a special study of this wreck in order to define and assess various approaches to collecting archaeological data. The first phase of the study looked at three-dimensional digitisation techniques. Generating a 3D model of the wreck enabled the archaeologists to continue their studies after the excavation, and in greater detail. It also proved to be a valuable asset for presenting the project to the general public. Most foreshore sites of archaeological interest are subject to the action of the tide, a constraint which requires archaeologists to rethink their usual methods for working on land or underwater. They also have to define technological tools that allow them to document artefacts effectively and in a short period of time, in particular, the merits of 3D laser scanning compared to photogrammetry.
