The high-fired stoneware ceramics found in Kota Cina (North Sumatra Province, Indonesia), and in Singapore represent compelling archaeological evidence of their ancient settlement. In this pilot study, I use scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDS) techniques to analyse the elemental compositions of stoneware glazes from Kota Cina and quantify these recipes using statistical methods. Comparisons are made with glazes from stoneware excavated in Singapore, and with contemporary Chinese ceramics. This aim is to determine if typological similarities and differences between shards correlate with their recipes, and to explore the potential evolution of glaze recipes between sites. Comparisons with Chinese ceramics allow for the contextualisation of these glazes in wider patterns of ceramic production and exchange during the period late eleventh–fourteenth centuries CE. Determining the factors influencing the variety in glaze recipes in Kota Cina and Singapore requires sampling more Southeast Asian and Chinese ceramics belonging to this crucial period.

Since 2015, four non-invasive campaigns have surveyed the San José Galleon shipwreck in the Colombian Caribbean, providing valuable insights into the age and provenance of artefacts found on the seabed. Numismatic, archaeological and historical approaches have been employed to analyse a collection of gold coins recorded within this underwater context.

Colombia, en su inmenso potencial patrimonial, ha estado enfrentada a desafíos investigadores en materia de estudio y protección de sus contextos arqueológicos. La relevancia de este territorio en la trayectoria histórica del continente, conllevó a la constitución de diversos vestigios arqueológicos depositados en los entornos terrestres y acuáticos. Particular atención ha recibido el Caribe, área donde diversas poblaciones de distintos orígenes geográficos interactuaron por varios siglos. Así, el mar se convirtió en el escenario donde confluyeron todo tipo de dinámicas socioculturales en los siglos recientes. Por ende, en el lecho marino se encuentra una gran cantidad de vestigios arqueológicos que, hoy día, son susceptibles de ser analizados desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria. En las aguas colombianas con una profundidad mayor de 60 metros, hay restos de embarcaciones o partes de ellas que permiten comprender las trayectorias locales y los vínculos continentales e intercontinentales. Este es el caso del contexto arqueológico del galeón San José, naufragado durante la Batalla de Barú el 8 de junio de 1708 y que, desde hace varios años, ha sido investigado por Colombia gracias a las capacidades metodológicas, técnicas, tecnológicas y humanas instaladas en las entidades responsables del manejo y la gestión del patrimonio cultural subacuático. En ese orden de ideas, el objetivo del presente artículo consiste en presentar el desarrollo de la investigación del patrimonio subacuático en aguas profundas en Colombia, a partir de una propuesta de sinergias institucionales e intersectoriales que ha sido aplicada en el naufragio Galeón San José ubicado en Cartagena de Indias.

Nicolaas Cruquius (1678-1754) is vooral bekend vanwege zijn gedetailleerde kaart van Delfland (1712). Die kaart was het eerste hoogtepunt van zijn carrière en vestigde definitief zijn naam als een van Hollands belangrijkste cartografen. Maar Cruquius was meer dan een goed kaartenmaker, hij hield er ook allerlei andere bezigheden op na. Zo was hij een pionier op het gebied van de meteorologische waarneming. Vanaf 1705 noteerde hij meerdere malen per dag, decennia lang, zijn waarnemingen van temperatuur, luchtdruk, windrichting, en windsterkte, waarvoor hij de best beschikbare instrumenten gebruikte. Daarnaast stelde Cruquius vanaf 1725 allerlei waterbouwkundige projecten voor en maakte hij zeer innovatieve rivierkaarten. Gebruikmakend van zijn kennis van cartografie, methodologieën van de Royal Society, en van modellen uit de wiskundige fysica, kwam Cruquius met een revolutionaire nieuwe grafische techniek: systematisch lijnen van gelijke diepte—wat tegenwoordig isobaten wordt genoemd. De cartografie van Cruquius leidde tot een nieuwe manier om naar het land en naar het landschap te kijken. Dit heeft een aantoonbare invloed gehad op reorganisatie en centralisering van de waterpolitiek in Nederland. De landschappelijke, politieke en morele implicaties van Cruquius, zijn het onderwerp van het laatste deel van deze presentatie.

2025, Underwater and coastal Archaeology in Latin America

Various traditions of underwater and maritime archaeology have developed around the world that represent different theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of underwater and coastal remains and the variability of the material culture. Each heritage reflects the characteristics specific to its area or context of discovery. The research traditions of the study of Latin American heritage are rooted in a rich history of producing scientific knowledge across the entire region. Research on submerged cultural remains developed considerably later than research on coastal remains. Scuba diving, which is essential for direct underwater exploration in any form, was not available before the 1960s; the work of the first pioneers in underwater archaeology was carried out at that time (Bass 1966). In addition, archaeological remains on land were so abundant in many parts of Latin America that researchers likely felt no urgent need to go under water. Treasure hunting on shipwreck sites also played a role in delaying underwater archaeological research. The region has been a target of private salvage companies offering "assistance" or seeking permits for the recovery of underwater cultural heritage in exchange for keeping a part of it. This situation was accepted for decades; some governments and policymakers did not even regard it as unethical. That is not the case today, as the 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage clearly states (UNESCO 2001). However, we must remain vigilant and be mindful of the risks of commercial salvage, as some authors still highlight (e.g., Martín, Pérez Díaz, and Gómez Pretel 2021).

This study explores the story of the French steamer S.S. Atlantique and the remarkable survival of mail transported during its ill-fated voyage in 1918.
While sailing from Port Said, Egypt, as part of a convoy during World War I, the Atlantique was torpedoed by a German submarine.
Although the ship managed to reach the port of Bizerte with the help of British naval escorts, its mail cargo was severely damaged by seawater.
The rescued mail items, bearing the distinctive “BATEAU NAUFRAGÉ MARSEILLE” handstamp, have become iconic examples of wreck mail highly valued by philatelists.

2025, 90th Annual Meeting SAA - Society for American Archaeology - Abstract Book

Desde hace varios años, en el área que comprende la Península de Barú e Islas del Rosario, al sur de la Bahía de Cartagena de Indias (Colombia), se ha venido hablando de la existencia de un cementerio prehispánico ubicado en el borde costero de la región. Distintas prospecciones arqueológicas y aproximaciones históricas se han llevado a cabo sin obtener resultados positivos, a pesar del alto potencial que supone el área de interés y los hallazgos reportados en las décadas recientes. Sin embargo, no fue hasta el año 2023 cuando en el marco de una investigación arqueológica se identificaron evidencias en una zona intermareal (parcialmente sumergida), que parecen sugerir finalmente el hallazgo de este cementerio asociado a las comunidades indígenas/originarias que habitaban la región desde antes del arribo español al territorio. El hallazgo de elementos de diversos tipos cerámicos y diferentes restos óseos, aún pendientes de identificar, permiten sugerir los primeros indicios de este contexto nunca antes abordado desde una perspectiva arqueológica. Gracias a los aportes provenientes de las fuentes orales locales fue posible no sólo dar con el hallazgo, sino establecer una delimitación inicial del sitio. En consecuencia, el propósito de esta ponencia consiste en presentar las primeras aproximaciones desarrolladas en la zona intermareal donde se presume el hallazgo de este contexto asociado posiblemente a un cementerio prehispánico. Allí se han realizado actividades de reconocimiento arqueológico por medio de vuelos de dron, registro de artefactos por LiDar y sistematización cartográfica e histórica en Sistemas de Información Geográfica. Lo anterior, ha permitido producir un banco de datos preliminar que eventualmente nutra una prospección subacuática y costera del área de estudio, corroborando la información analizada y produciendo nuevos datos de este particular hallazgo para el ámbito colombiano.

2025, 90th Annual Meeting SAA - Society for American Archaeology - Abstract Book

Los procesos socioculturales acontecidos durante los últimos siglos y milenios en el territorio colombiano se han visto manifestados en las distintas relaciones construidas entre los seres humanos y los entornos que los rodean. El vínculo entre estas comunidades y los cuerpos de agua han conllevado a una continua adaptación y apropiación de los paisajes en los cuales conviven y subsisten. En este sentido, una arqueología de la comprensión de estos paisajes y las aguas que los constituyen, supone el desarrollo y aplicación de complejos marcos interpretativos que contribuyan a dar respuesta a las complejas preguntas que surgen al momento de entender y analizar el pasado de estas sociedades. El desarrollo investigativo de la arqueología subacuática en Colombia, un área del conocimiento que justamente puede englobar diversas nociones interdisciplinarias que permitan analizar estos paisajes, se ha enfocado particularmente en los entornos marítimos y costeros. Por su parte, los cuerpos de agua continentales y los paisajes que los constituyen han carecido de aproximaciones que ayuden a entender los vínculos y las relaciones entre las comunidades, en este caso prehispánicas, y estos entornos tan relevantes en las trayectorias e itinerarios locales. Particularmente relevante en el ámbito local, ha sido protagónica la correlación existente entre las comunidades asentadas en el Altiplano Cundiboyacense (Región Andina) y los cuerpos de agua asociados a lagos y lagunas. En este orden de ideas, el objetivo de la presente ponencia consiste en presentar los avances investigativos que se han venido desarrollando en el último año en el paisaje lacustre de esta región central de Colombia. Puntualmente, el enfoque de una apuesta interdisciplinaria e intersectorial por comprender desde la arqueología subacuática los procesos históricos que han incluido la ritualidad de los lagos y lagunas, y la profanación a la cual se han visto expuestos desde el periodo Colonial hasta la actualidad.

In August 2020 the authors realized an interdisciplinary survey of tvelwe wrecks located and inventoried earlier, as a part of a project Underwater Ethnoarchaeology of the Lower Oder. Preliminary Research on Wrecks in Selected Sections of the River (grant no. 2018/02/X/HS3/00475, National Science Centre, Poland). The hydrographers from the Maritime University of Szczecin and the ethnologist from the University of Szczecin established cooperation in this regard. The survey was part of the research on the geoclassification method of anthropogenic, ferrous, underwater objects based on magnetic anomaly maps. Data acquisition involved recording data with an interferometric echo-sounder, side-scan sonar, and marine magnetometer. The survey was done by the research vessel Hydrograf XXI. The results provided new datasets of examined wrecks, as well as other, previously unknown bottom
objects. This contributed to a better understanding of the underwater cultural heritage resources of the Oder River. Moreover, collected data was used to create the catalogue of underwater ferromagnetic objects, which is the basis of geoclassification method. The cooperation of the hydrographers and the ethnologist was an interesting and creative experience, whose interdisciplinary value lay in learning about different research methods and techniques – in relation to the same object of research. The collected hydrographic data will be also used in the project MORGAV: Development of Technology Acquisition and Exploration of Gravimetric Data of Foreshore and Seashore of Polish Maritime Areas (National Centre for Research and Development, Poland, Smart Growth Operational Programme 2014–2020, competition: 1/4.1.4/2018).

2025, 4th Kotor International Maritime Conference – KIMC 2024. Abstract Book.

For about a decade, the Colombian State has strengthened its capabilities in the field of exploration and research in deep waters. For this, it acquired and developed technologies, while at the same time trained specialized professionals, in order to study particularly the archaeological contexts belonging to the Nation's Underwater Cultural Heritage that lie at depths of more than 100 meters. To achieve this, the Colombian Navy and the National Maritime Authority have developed and implemented interdisciplinary scientific research projects, with special emphasis on underwater robotics, interested in analyzing and safeguarding the shipwrecks located in the Caribbean waters of Cartagena de Indias. During the last few years, a series of research components have been formed which integrate professionals and technicians from different areas of knowledge, where three of the main axes have been the articulation between a Multipurpose Oceanographic Vessel, a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) that can descend to a depth of 1,500 meters, and positioning systems. In this sense, the goal of this paper is to present the main advances, results and challenges that have led to the application of deep water technologies in the study and protection of underwater archaeological contexts in the waters of the Colombian Caribbean. Among the main purposes, is the approach to the biocultural underwater landscapes that are constituted, among other natural and cultural components, by different shipwrecks, including the San José Galleon sunk in 1708. The integration between the interdisciplinary components, with the transversal axis of underwater robotics, has made it possible to carry out archaeological surveys for the acquisition of data for the construction of three-dimensional models by photogrammetry. These strategies are focused on dissemination to non-specialized audiences, where the obtained and processed data lead to the generation of virtual reality products, simulations, and even video games for different platforms.

Shipwreck SZD1 is the biggest of eleven wrecks resting in the Regalica River (West Pomerania, Poland), inventoried during the project "Underwater Ethnoarchaeology of the Lower Oder. Preliminary Research on Wrecks in Selected Sections of the River" (grant no. 2018/02/X/HS3/00475, National Science Centre, Poland). It has been an object of interest for explorers and scholars for years because previous investigations by means of sonar (stationary and side-scan) and interferometric echo-sounder had not allowed for identifying its type accurately and recognizing details visible on the recorded images. The authors of the paper reached the conclusion that it was necessary to investigate the wreck one more time by means of another kind of sonar – ARIS acoustic camera, which makes it possible to record underwater space in an analogous way to the optical video camera. The investigation was carried out in September 2019 on board of a research vessel "Echo 2", owned by ESCORT Sp. z o.o. During the survey, high-quality video records were made, making it possible not only to identify the type of the sunken vessel, but also to recognize its construction details. Moreover, the damage to the ship’s hull was observed, making it possible to enunciate hypotheses about why it sank. The sonar images also show many variously shaped objects resting on the river bed, both next to the wreck itself and at some distance from it. The authors assumed that at least some of these were the cargo of the sunken ship. In order to verify the hypotheses and suppositions, it would be necessary to carry out a diving reconnaissance on shipwreck SZD1 in the future.

The Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030 is a UN initiative that promotes a common framework for supporting stakeholders in studying and assessing the health of the world's oceans. The initiative also presents a vital opportunity to improve the integration of archaeology within the marine sciences. With the First Global Planning Meeting of the Decade held in Copenhagen at the National Museum of Denmark in May 2019, steps are already being taken to make the best of this opportunity, and the resulting creation of an Ocean Decade Heritage Network is proposed as a way forward to continue to raise awareness in the cultural heritage community about the Decade and to facilitate information sharing regarding this endeavour.

The submerged park of Baia was born in 2002 through an institutional path that involves several ministries and local institutions, in defense of a unique archaeological context, then surrounded by an industrial area in disarmament. Together with the
Gaiola area, the submerged park of Baia will be the only one of its kind within the largest family of protected marine areas.
Inside coexist the protection and enhancement of archaeological assets, now exercised by the Archaeological Park of Campi
Flegrei, and the management and administrative-accounting forms of the former Ministry of the Environment, which passed
through that of the Ecological Transition (MiTE). The use is instead exercised in synergy with over ten local operators who
have accompanied, in the last year, over 12,000 people through diving, canoes, snorkeling and glass-bottomed boats. Twenty
years after its establishment, it appears necessary to take stock of this experiment, to verify its replicability and effectiveness
in other similar contexts.

This paper examines the On Lung Ching Chiu (安龍清醮, Ritual of Settling Down the Dragon for Purification) in Kau Lau Wan village, Hong Kong, analyzing how the boat people have manipulated religious rituals to blur the identity of the original Hakka residents and strengthen their own cultural identity. The research finds that although the On Lung festival originated from Hakka tradition, over the past decades, this ritual has been replaced and reconstructed by the boat people of Kau Lau Wan, becoming an important medium for expressing their self-identity and community space. Through adjustments to the ritual content, spatial arrangements, and participant composition, the boat people have gradually 'fisherized' the originally Hakka ritual. Meanwhile, they have utilized cross-border fishing community networks to invite deities from different regions to participate in the festival, further establishing Kau Lau Wan's status as a boat people community. This study's timing during the COVID-19 pandemic (2021-2023) provided unique insights into the ritual's significance for the diaspora community. Despite travel restrictions and logistical challenges, overseas villagers' determination to return for the festival highlighted the On Lung Ching Chiu's crucial role in maintaining community bonds and cultural identity across geographical boundaries. The pandemic context revealed how the ritual serves as an anchor for transnational community networks while adapting to contemporary circumstances. This study reveals how this subaltern group has reconstructed their cultural boundaries and discursive power through the manipulation of traditional religious practices.

Transforming the ocean law by requirement of the marine environment conservation The protection of the marine environment is the objective of the law of the ocean, in its international, regional and national dimensions. It ensures the coherence of a complex law of marine areas and maritime activities. Conservation of marine biodiversity has become an emergency. The exploitation of the seabed, the development of new activities at sea must be conditioned by this same requirement. Human Sea – “It’s necessary to make the Sea more human. The development of human activities at sea - What legal framework?” The European research program, ERC Advanced Grant n° 340770 in 2013, directed by professor Patrick CHAUMETTE, University of Nantes, deals with technological developments and their consequences on maritime activities, on the Law of the Sea and Maritime Law.

India’s underwater cultural heritage (UCH) sites hold immense historical and cultural significance and their preservation has been the subject of increasing attention and concern. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive literature review to examine the strategies and challenges involved in preserving UCH sites in India, specifically focusing on the submerged city of Dwarka off the coast of Gujarat. Our review highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to the preservation and conservation of these sites, including non-destructive methods, the development of legal and institutional frameworks, and the involvement of local communities. We also emphasize the urgent need for India to ratify the UNESCO 2001 Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage to better protect and preserve these sites. Our findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and other stakeholders involved in preserving and conserving UCH sites in India.

Es indudable que el barco que naufragó en el Bajo de la Campana transportaba objetos de gran valor,
pero parece claro que los lingotes y el mineral, que representaban más de la mitad de su peso, constituían
el cargamento principal.
La movilidad de materias primas, especialmente pétreas, es sorprendentemente amplia desde
épocas remotas de la Prehistoria, al haber sido, sin duda, uno de los primeros objetos de intercambio.
Con el desarrollo de la metalurgia, esos intercambios se intensificaron y la necesidad de minerales como
cobre o estaño en regiones donde no existían impulsó redes de gran alcance y complejidad...

La coyuntura actual que supone el estudio científico del Galeón San José, y el Patrimonio Cultural Sumergido en general, ha permitido que se formulen diversas interrogantes novedosas para el ámbito local. Las distintas áreas del conocimiento que pueden analizar este tipo de contextos han arrojado nuevas luces sobre la práctica en la exploración en aguas profundas. Hoy día, una comprensión más amplia del Patrimonio Cultural en la que se integre el Patrimonio Natural ha sido una necesidad latente. Derivado de ello, han surgido múltiples desafíos, pero al mismo tiempo se han formulado diversas herramientas, para articular estos patrimonios y entender esa relación simbiótica ya existente entre ellos.
Para lograr todo esto, desde el proyecto de investigación “Hacia el Corazón del Galeón San José”, liderado por la Dirección General Marítima, el Ministerio de las Culturas, las Artes y los Saberes, el Instituto Colombiano de Antropología e Historia y la Armada Nacional, se han buscado formular nuevos enfoques dedicados a entender desde una perspectiva integral y holística este complejo Patrimonio Cultural y Natural. En ese sentido, este espacio de discusión busca abordar justamente cuáles son los riesgos y retos, pero al mismo tiempo las estrategias y alternativas, para gestionar colectivamente estos Territorios. En definitiva, se busca promover una nueva discusión que aporte al manejo y la gestión integral del Paisaje Biocultural Subacuático de Aguas Profundas vinculado al Galeón San José. Enfocado, entonces, hacia la construcción del Expediente para la Declaratoria de este Patrimonio Biocultural en Cartagena de Indias.

This work is included in a volume that compiles the content of a series of conferences held at the National Museum of Underwater Archaeology in Cartagena (ARQUA) in the autumn of 2023, focused on the Bajo de la Campana site. Additionally, it takes the form of a catalog as it will accompany an exhibition on the subject organized by the same museum.
The study examines a collection of bronze objects and other luxury materials recovered from the underwater excavations of the Bajo de la Campana shipwreck (San Javier, Murcia) during the campaigns directed by M. Polzer and J. Pinedo between 2007 and 2011. Particularly noteworthy is the extraordinary bronze bed and other artifacts, such as fragments of alabaster vessels, ostrich eggs, and wooden combs, which until now have only been partially published.
