Changing Attitudes and Approaches to Shipwreck Archaeology in the Caribbean

Author(s): Donald H. Keith

Year: 2018

Summary

Since its discovery more than 50 years ago the HIghborne Cay Wreck has been salvaged by antiquarians in 1966-67, partially excavated  by archaeologists in 1986, and  re-examined in 2017. The motivations, focus, techniques, and findings of each of these activities were very different and serve as examples of the evolution of attitudes and approaches to shipwreck archaeology in the Caribbean.
