The Formation of a West African Maritime Seascape: Atlantic Trade, Shipwrecks, and Formation Processes on the Coast of Ghana
Maritime Archaeology and the Early Atlantic Trade: Research at Elmina, Ghana
This article details recent maritime archaeological research off the town of Elmina in coastal Ghana. Founded in 1482, Elmina Castle was the first and largest European outpost in sub-Saharan West Africa, and remained a centre of maritime trade for almost four centuries. Survey and diver investigations led to the discovery of several sites, including a shipwreck dating to the mid 17th century, which is characterized by a mass of trade goods, canno…
Archaeological Microsampling by Means of Sediment Coring at Submerged Sites
This paper discusses a microsampling technique using a low‐technology, diver‐assisted percussion coring device that was developed for minimally invasive testing of underwater archaeological sites in turbulent environments, specifically in West Africa. The simple and cost‐effective technique is useful across a range of scales including shipwreck sites and larger regions, providing insights into the micro‐ and macro aspects of submerged sites, incl…
Maritime Cultural Resource Investigation, Management, and Mitigation in Coastal Ghana
Connecting African Diaspora and West African Historical Archaeologies
Of His Bones are Coral Made: Submerged Cultural Resources, Site Formation Processes, and Multiple Scales of Interpretation in Coastal Ghana
Integrating theoretical and methodological approaches to formation processes across a range of scales from micro-artifact to region and from historical to environmental processes, this work explores the archaeology of the event related to submerged archaeological sites within the Elmina seascape of coastal Ghana. Building on and intersecting with the work of other scholars, this research is a unique approach to the investigation of submerged cult…
