ABSTRACT An intact bronze waterfowl figurehead, SCA1592, was found in the city of Thonis-Heracleion in 2014 and received only brief comments in an exhibition catalogue. A fragment of a similar piece, SCA1561, has not been previously published. This article contains a detailed analysis of both pieces and cites the available comparanda from ancient Egypt. It also addresses the religious and aesthetic aspects of these figureheads.

ABSTRACT Digital 3D surveys of shipwrecks have become ubiquitous in recent years. As a substantial number of 3D shipwreck surveys accumulate, there remains a largely untapped opportunity for longitudinal and quantitative analyses of historic vessels in ways that were previously difficult or impossible using traditional methods, and which would provide new perspectives on the nautical archaeological record. A digital reference library was developed for Dutch ocean-going merchant vessels of the 17th and 18th century, including a substantial database of 3D scans of contemporary scale models, together with shipwreck scans, manuscripts, and other historical evidence. Important lessons for future typological digital reference libraries are highlighted, particularly the challenges of estimating scale, vessel classification and the need to publish survey data in open spatial formats.

ABSTRACT For European naval powers, whose economic and political well-being depended on the success of naval enterprises, warships played a fundamental role. Based on a multi-scalar and comparative approach, evidence from post-medieval (or historical) shipwrecks, can contribute to a better understanding of modern technology and society. This article deals with the innovations of British, French, and Spanish warships that sailed from about 1750 to 1815. An archaeological, archaeometric, and documentary study of wreck sites, with emphasis on ships’ structure, equipment, and ordnance, provided novel data to address the development of naval technology of the period. Based on this comprehensive approach, the information obtained allowed for a discussion of the impacts of industrialisation, warfare, and science on the innovation dynamic developed within the aforementioned states.

ABSTRACT Boat timbers, known as the ‘Bruges boat’ were discovered in 1899 whilst digging a canal close to Bruges, Belgium. Despite the small number of recovered pieces, these were useful, and it was possible to make a hypothetical reconstruction of part of a vessel with estimated dimensions. It has become clear, however, that this find is not a coherent shipwreck but the remains of one vessel and at least one part of a second, which were used secondarily to make a revetted jetty or abutment on the bank of a tidal channel that was still active at the time.

ABSTRACT The monitoring and management of underwater sites in Iceland is severely deficient, due to various factors. Globally, underwater cultural heritage managers are increasingly turning towards community engagement as a way of addressing the many challenges they face, and this article proposes the adoption of a similar strategy in Iceland. It could both improve management, and the awareness of underwater sites. The article outlines the national heritage laws in place, summarizes past underwater archaeological work within the country, and highlights the challenges which maritime archaeologists currently face. The impact of community underwater archaeology projects elsewhere is discussed, and an evaluation of the viability of such a project in Iceland is made. Results presented from a survey distributed to the sports diving community further reinforces this evaluation, by highlighting the skills the community could bring to the field, as well as their interest and willingness to participate in such a study.

ABSTRACT Glass beads from two maritime sites were analyzed: the Dutch East India Company vessel Rooswijk, wrecked in 1740 on Goodwin Sands off the Kent coast, UK, and an unidentified vessel known as the Bead Wreck, located off Saint Peter Port, Guernsey, in the Channel Islands. Both vessels were carrying drawn, lead glass beads, which are found mainly in 17th- and 18th-century contexts. The study demonstrates the value of analysing glass beads from wreck sites because the information has the potential to help characterize unidentified vessels and further refine bead chronologies at post-medieval archaeological sites.
