Author(s): Calvin Mires; Victor T Mastone; Laurel Seaborn; Jennifer E. Jones; Leland Crawford
Year: 2018
Summary
In 2015, the first accredited maritime archaeological field school took place under a partnership between Salem State University, NPS, NAS, the PAST Foundation, SEAMAHP, and the Massachusetts Board of Underwater Resources. Examining a 19th-century schooner on the North Shore of Massachusetts, this field school launched two successive years of educational programs that spring boarded deeper research into historical, environmental, and methodological questions, for collaborating scholars. This paper discusses how these educational programs have supported, informed, and continued to develop research questions and studies beyond the particular shipwreck, with limited resources available.
