Archaeology of the Atlantic Early Modern Seaports. An Approach Via CONCHA Project.

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Early Modern Seaports in the Context of Global Cities Emergency. Harbour, Maritime and Landscape Archaeology", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

CONCHA’s main goal is to address the different ways that port cities developed around the Atlantic from the late 15th to the early 18th century in relation to differing global, regional, and local ecological and economic environments. The project is framed around seven Work Packages that employs diverse methodologies from different disciplines to address its main objectives. Relying on history, environmental history, art history, literature, terrestrial and underwater archaeology, digital humanities, science communication and environmental awareness, this is a very novel approach of constructing dialogues among disciplines that normally do not cross. In this paper we present the maritime research perspectives and some of the results achieved in the Atlantic Islands.
