In-situ Artefact Documentation of Underwater Cultural Heritage Using Third-Party Data
Large underwater construction projects generate hundreds of potential cultural heritage objects requiring archaeological assessment and – potentially – mitigation. Some can easily be avoided in planning, whereas others cannot. Singular objects tend to present a dilemma in heritage management: their archaeological significance tends to lie in their association to an – at the time of finding – unknown context rather than in the object itself. Thoug…
You Can’t Make an Omelette without Breaking an Egg. Surveying Submerged Paleo-terrains with a Mechanical Excavator
Preserved Stone Age sites and prehistoric landscapes under water can often be challenging to find and access for archaeologists. In consequence, the Viking Ship Museum has, within recent years, frequently used mechanical excavators in archaeological surveys to find and delineate Stone Age sites and prehistoric landscape features. In this article, the authors provide an overview of the introduction of mechanical excavators in maritime archaeology.…
Kalverev Syd
Prior to the building of a new bridge over the Storstrømmen sound, the Viking Ship Museum performed an archaeological survey of the affected area. During the survey, medieval ship timbers were encountered, leading to the excavation of the aft port section of the bottom of a clinker-built vessel with external caulking laths and sintels. The building of the vessel is dendrochronologically dated to ca. AD 1250-55. The find was documented in situ usi…
The medieval shipwreck from Kalverev Syd, Denmark
Prior to the building of a new bridge across the Storstrømmen sound the Viking Ship Museum excavated a section of a clinker-built vessel with external waterproofing laths and sintels, dendrochronologically dated to circa AD 1250‐1255. The find was documented in situ using 3D photogrammetry and subsequently salvaged for further 3D laser scan documentation and conservation. This paper presents the sparse vessel remains and places them in the conte…
The Studland Bay wreck, Dorset, UK
Upon the discovery and protection of a presumed 16th-century wreck off Poole Harbour, one of the largest underwater excavations in England was carried out between 1984 and 1992. In 1997–8 the author examined the archive and recovered objects with the aim of publishing the present report on the hull remains. The paper demonstrates how much can be learned about construction and design from in-situ recording. The similarities and differences between…
