Reconstructing a submerged post town
Reconstructed submerged townscape using multibeam sonar data. • Identified roads and parcel boundaries from CS 3D and historical maps. • Revealed land-use zoning linked to alluvial-fan topography. • Showed town planning utilized alluvial-fan hydrological features. • Found lake sediments obscured rivers, bridges, and irrigation traces. Hibara Village, a former post town in Fukushima Prefecture, Northern Japan, was submerged beneath Lake Hibara fol…
The Wreck of the Galleon San Francisco (1609)
The Manila galleon San Francisco sank off the coast of Japan in 1609 after almost two months of sailing through storms and hurricanes that damaged the ship to the point that it was carrying more than two metres of water in its hold. This article provides an account of the final journey of San Francisco according to primary and secondary sources. It also proposes a set of theoretical dimensions for the galleon based on its tonnage, contemporary ve…
Cross-Regional and -Chronological Perspectives on East Asian Seafaring and Shipbuilding
The Ocean Decade Heritage Network
The Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021–2030 is a UN initiative that promotes a common framework for supporting stakeholders in studying and assessing the health of the world’s oceans. The initiative also presents a vital opportunity to improve the integration of archaeology within the marine sciences. With the First Global Planning Meeting of the Decade held in Copenhagen at the National Museum of Denmark in May 2019, steps …
Revisiting the date of the Java Sea Shipwreck from Indonesia
Nishimura Masanari’s Study of the Earliest Known Shipwreck Found in Vietnam
The Chau Tan shipwreck, probably the earliest shipwreck in Vietnam, was found in the waters off the shore of Binh Son District in Quang Ngai Province in the early 2000s. Dr. Nishimura initiated a study of the shipwreck material, but it was cut short by his sudden demise. A group of Japanese scholars continued the project in co-operation with the Institute of Archaeology (Vietnam). Since remnants of the shipwreck were pillaged and their archaeolog…
Shipwrecked? New developments in Southeast Asian maritime archaeology and the safeguard of shipwrecks in the region
have handed over the following pages to Jun Kimura, newly appointed Advisory Editor to the journal, who gives his views on efforts in the Southeast Asia region to confront the multiple problems concomitant with a rich maritime heritage.The ethical issues of legally licensed salvage of archaeological sites are the major concern.Any country allowing such treatment of our shared underwater heritage might note the lessons of this failed experiment.In…
State and Perspectives of Submerged Sites in Japan
Naval Battlefield Archaeology of the Lost Kublai Khan Fleets
From AD 1274 Chinese emperor Kublai Khan dispatched fleets of ships in a series of attempts to expand the empire's hegemony and extend his rule into East Asia (Japan) and Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Champa and Java). Archaeological remains associated with the fleets and battles have been found at Takashima Island, Japan and on the Bạch Ðằng River, Vietnam. This paper develops a thematic approach to these sites within a framework of naval battlefield…
Historical Development of Asian Anchors, as Evidenced by Two Wooden Anchors Found in Northern Vietnam
This article presents the result of research on two large wooden anchors recently identified in Hanoi, Vietnam. Some features of the anchors show similarities with anchors originating from East Asian regions, but the research demonstrates that they are probably from ships locally constructed in the 18th and 19th centuries. In the attempt to clarify the origin of these anchors, it was discovered that there has been little discussion on the histori…
