This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Anémone Project Les Saintes (Guadeloupe) : Result of the first multi-year underwater archaeological excavation in the French West Indies 2015-2019," at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Research on the Anémone shipwreck was conducted between 2015 - 2019 as part of the first multi-annual underwater archaeology excavation that took place in the French West Indies. It has been funded by DRASSM (French Ministry of Culture), Guadeloupe Région, and the DMPA (French Ministry of Defense). The objectives of this excavation focused on the study of shipbuilding but also on the material culture of a French Naval schooner. Anémone was built in Bayonne in 1823 and sunk in 1824 during the 7th to 8th September hurricane and was then involved in fighting again illegal slave trade. This symposium aims to present the result with contributions of colleagues on the goals and methods of the multi year excavation, historical background of the wreck and crew, shipbuilding of a naval schooner, material culture study results, specific structure cases study as sheathing, rudder, ordinance and balast as well as photogrametry means and contribution.
