Early Modern Seaports in the Context of Global Cities Emergency. Harbour, Maritime and Landscape Archaeology
Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2023
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Early Modern Seaports in the Context of Global Cities Emergency. Harbour, Maritime and Landscape Archaeology," at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
During the process of the first globalization, seaports and port cities play a central role, being nodes of contact and exchange between different geographies, cultures and economic and political interests. In the scope of CONCHA project: “The construction of early modern global Cities and oceanic networks in the Atlantic: An Approach via Ocean’s Cultural Heritage”, and EU funded staff exchange project experience, we aim to address and discuss the complexity of seaports, including environmental and landscape features, underwater studies on harbour infrastructures, shipwrecks inside harbours, archaeological collections and maritime landscapes connected with the development of port cities through different perspectives. The main goal is contributed, in a comparative way, to the conceptualizations of port cities growth in the early modern period, having in account early settlements, insular and continental, seaport structures, natural environments, economic activities and marine resource availability.
