This panel, sponsored by the Australasian Institute for Maritime Archaeology (AIMA), invites scholars, industry professionals, and avocational archaeologists to dive into the diverse and dynamic field of maritime archaeology.
We welcome papers that consider a broad spectrum of topics across maritime archaeology in oceanic and riverine contexts, including shipwrecks and other technologies, maritime cultural landscapes, artefacts and cultural resource management, the impact of modern developments such as wind farms and offshore structures, coastal communities, trade and trading networks, ritual and seafaring, women at sea, animals and their maritime significance, colonialism and its legacies, and more. Papers may focus on research methodologies, case studies, or theoretical developments in the field.
Convened by Danielle Wilkinson (President, AIMA), Dr John McCarthy (Flinders University), and Dr Natali Pearson (University of Sydney), this hybrid session welcomes contributions from around the globe, focusing on any geographic area. We particularly welcome student participation.
Join us for an engaging and insightful discussion that bridges the gap between scholarly research, industry practices, and community involvement in maritime archaeology.
