Author(s): Elise Carroll
Year: 2020
Summary
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Shipwreck management is complex and affected by many different variables. A methodology for analyzing historic and archaeological shipwreck management will be proposed, and the potential for creating a reference aid for shipwreck management will be discussed. This methodology seeks to understand the motivation behind previous management decisions and ascertain if the decisions are linked to a specific variable, such as public significance or association with a specific historic era. Through the examination of management documents and literature associated with each wreck site, research reveals commonalities between case studies that factor into each management decision. The synthesis and analysis of this data may provide part of a foundation for the creation of standardized guidelines or reference guide for the management of wrecks.
