The Nuts and Bolts of Ships: The J. Richard Steffy Ship Reconstruction Laboratory and the future of the archaeology of Shipbuilding
Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2020
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "The Nuts and Bolts of Ships: The J. Richard Steffy Ship Reconstruction Laboratory and the future of the archaeology of Shipbuilding," at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Since 1976, the J. Richard Steffy Ship Reconstruction Laboratory has been on the forefront of archaeological reconstruction of early modern shipbuilding design and technology. Through various collaborations, the Shiplab is combining new technologies with traditional techniques which enable researchers to interpret archaeological remains with greater accuracy and precision than was possible using conventional means alone. These efforts have culminated in an eclectic portfolio of ongoing research projects which endeavor to increase our knowledge of historic shipbuilding, maritime landscapes, seafaring technology, and more. This symposium highlights a few of the ongoing research projects and the Shiplab’s plans for the future of this discipline.
