Course Description:
Throughout human history, water transport has been the main mode of long-distance trade and travel. Maritime archaeologists frequently combine historical and archaeological data to investigate sites on the coast and underwater that help us understand this important period in the human past. This course investigates the history of the interconnected Atlantic World through the discipline of maritime archaeology, with particular emphasis on technology (ship/wrecks and ship equipment), society (networks, households, ports), commodity (cargoes, trade goods), and identity (work routines, living conditions, beliefs) in maritime communities from the North and South American, African, and European Atlantic coasts between the fifteenth century and the nineteenth century. |
