Of 55 17th-century wrecks located around the world identified as Iberian, 37 have either been destroyed, looted, or salvaged by treasure hunters, and just 11 the subject of archaeological work. Of these, only seven have been published: structural components, planking, fasteners, caulking, and other hull remains are reported to different degrees of detail. This article compares hull components within this small sample to assess the shared traits, or distinctive Iberian shipbuilding tradition, proposed by Oertling (2001; 2005), Castro (2008), and Hormaechea et al. (2018: 64–65). Additional traits are proposed that have been observed in the archaeological record. Arqueología de naufragios Ibéricos del siglo XVII: reevaluación y comparación de restos de embarcaciones registrados y publicados De 55 naufragios del siglo XVII localizados alrededor del mundo que han sido identificados como Ibéricos, 37 han sido destruidos o saqueados por los buscadores de tesoros y solamente 11 han sido objeto de investigaciones arqueológicas. De estos 11, solamente 7 han sido publicados. Los componentes estructurales, las tracas, los elementos de sujeción, el calafate y otros restos de los cascos han sido registrados y reportados con diferentes grados de detalle. Este artículo compara los componentes de los cascos de esta pequeña muestra para evaluar los rasgos compartidos, o la tradición Ibérica distintiva propuesta por Oertling (2001; 2005), Castro (2008) y Hormaechea et al. (2018: 64–65). Se proponen rasgos adicionales con base en lo observado en el registro arqueológico. 17世纪伊比利亚沉船考古:对已发掘、记录及出版的沉船的再评估与比较 在全世界被确认为属于伊比利亚人的55个17世纪沉船中, 有37个被寻宝者摧毁、劫掠或打捞, 只有11个是经过考古发掘的。而其中只有7艘沉船资料已公开发表:包括船体结构、船板、系固、捻缝及船体其他方面的各种细节。本文通过比较这些少数样本的船体构件以评估欧特林 (2001;2005) 、卡斯度 (2008) 和欧尔梅查等人 (2018:64–65) 提出的共有特征或独特的伊比利亚造船传统的观点, 同时提出了在考古记录中可见的其他特征。 17世紀伊比利亞沉船考古:對已發掘、記錄及出版的沉船的再評估與比較 在全世界被確認爲屬于伊比利亞人的55個17世紀沉船中, 有37個被尋寶者摧毀、劫掠或打撈, 只有11個是經過考古發掘的。而其中只有7艘沉船資料已公開發表:包括船體結構、船板、系固、撚縫及船體其他方面的各種細節。本文通過比較這些少數樣本的船體構件以評估歐特林 (2001;2005) 、卡斯度 (2008) 和歐爾梅查等人 (2018:64–65) 提出的共有特征或獨特的伊比利亞造船傳統的觀點, 同時提出了在考古記錄中可見的其他特征
