Summary
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
The reefs surrounding Bermuda are home to some 100 historic shipwrecks. Documenting the location and assessing the integrity of wrecks, with respect to individual deposits and overall site morphology, is essential to reconstructing the natural and cultural processes that resulted in the formation of wreck sites and provides both spatial and temporal contextual information. Digital documentation techniques are used to fully record sites and associated benthic features while the development of custom point-based visual analytics tools facilitate multiresolution data fusion and visualization across land and sea. Web-based scientific storytelling allows the public to fully engage and become active stakeholders. The Bermuda 100 Project is creating a comprehensive, online, interactive digital atlas, representing a broad range of sites surrounding Bermuda – from shipwrecks to the marine habitats they support – as well as deploying the tools required to document, analyze, share, and virtually explore them.
