Addressing the relationship between gambling and professional football in England
Our commentary article continues the discussion recently initiated by Smith et al. on the relationship between gambling and professional football in England. In their vital contribution to Soccer and Society, they argue that a reconsideration of the relationship between football and gambling is required, highlighting the importance of prevention schemes of gambling harms for athletes, and maintaining the integrity of football. We respond by argui…
Manipulating avatar age and gender in level-2 visual perspective taking
Visual perspective taking (VPT) represents how the world appears from another person’s position. The age, group status and emotional displays of the other person have been shown to affect task performance, but tasks often confound social and spatial outcome measures by embedding perspective taking in explicitly social contexts or theory-of-mind reasoning. Furthermore, while previous research has suggested that visual perspective taking may be imp…
Cultural Resource Management
The topic and intent of Cultural Resource Management, A Collaborative Primer for Archaeologists is clearly defined in the title. This is a short introduction for archaeologists to best practices in cultural resource management (CRM), which Thomas King defines as “managing those parts of the environment that people think are resources because of their culture, regardless of what an archaeologist or other specialist thinks of them” (ix, emphasis in…
Ninteenth-Century Shipwrecks and the Maritime Cultural Landscape of the Gulf of Mexico

The Glass and Ceramic Assemblage of the Mardi Gras Shipwreck
The Reuse of Vessels as Harbor Structures
The Oxford Handbook of Maritime Archaeology
The Oxford Handbook of Maritime Archaeology is a survey of the field as seen through the eyes of nearly fifty scholars at a time when maritime archaeology has established itself as a mature branch of archaeology. This volume draws on many of the distinct and universal aspects of maritime archaeology, bringing them together under four main themes: the research process, ships and shipwrecks, maritime and nautical culture, and issues of preservation…
Coastal Archaeology
The coast is the area where marine processes such as erosion, deposition, and storm surge influence terrestrial processes and vice versa. This article introduces the concept of coastal archaeology as a growth field for maritime archaeology in terms of the data that can be gathered and also as a realm for the development of archaeological theory. Terrestrial and underwater archaeology, combined and connected by coastal archaeology, allow for a ful…

The ‘Mardi Gras’ Shipwreck
The ‘Mardi Gras’ Shipwreck is the remains of an early-19th-century sailing vessel lost in approximately 1220 m of water in the Gulf of Mexico. A recent archaeological investigation documented the wreck and recovered several artefacts, including glassware, ceramics, navigational instruments, a cannon, and a stove. Analyses of these artefacts and the surviving hull have led to preliminary conclusions on the nature of the vessel and its crew. © 2009…
The Presentation of Self in Rural Life
Down by the Water's Edge
Shipbuilding in the Chesapeake, while explored extensively in historical literature, has been largely absent from the reported archaeological record, the primary cause being the ephemeral nature of shipyard-sites. In an attempt partially to rectify this situation a study was undertaken to quantitatively identify the environmental and cultural factors which influenced the location of shipyards. Following the construction of a GIS predictive model,…
