State of the Field
Computational approaches, methodologies, and theoretical considerations for studying seafaring have developed rapidly in recent decades. However, these approaches often remained isolated from traditional archaeological discourse, with researchers working separately from each other and practitioners, while independently developing overlapping methodologies. Researchers can struggle to contextualize their work in this complex and rapidly developing…

Navigating the Narrative
Why do people go to sea? The relationship people have with land and sea, maritime space, boats and ships are entwined and complex, shaped and molded by the marine environment, identity and heritage. This paper explores the complexity of people's relationship with the sea to question how we can understand and model seafaring in the past, and how this can be used to better understand maritime heritage today. To be meaningful, computational analysis…
Submerged Palaeolandscapes of the Southern Hemisphere (SPLOSH) - What is emerging from the Southern Hemisphere
The potential of submerged palaeolandscapes to address questions about global migrations, broad-scale climate and landscape change and human response to this has, to date, been concentrated in the Northern Hemisphere. The Southern Hemisphere has less land, more water and water barriers, higher floral and faunal endemicity and lower population but with indigenous populations that have maintained a connection with coastal and offshore landscapes fo…
Using marine deposits to understand terrestrial human environments
Offshore sedimentary deposits preserved in submarine canyons in southern Calabria, Italy, provide evidence for mid-Holocene (ca. 6000 BP) erosion and the transport of organic-rich floodplain sediments by flash-flood (hyperpycnal) flows from the San Pasquale River. Marine geophysical surveys (bathymetry, side-scan sonar) and diver reconnaissance revealed an unusual offshore peat deposit containing plant macrofossils representing local habitats, po…
