Reconstructing Ships from Archaeological Ship Remains

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Digital Approaches in Nautical Archaeology", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Although it is often impossible to reconstruct ships from their archaeological remains with a fair degree of certainty, the interpretation of archaeological remains and the attempt to develop a plausible model of what an old ship might have been is an iterative learning exercise that can and should be public and participated. This paper presents three case studies and proposes a simple set of rules for the recording and sharing or primary archaeological data and the development of as plausible as possible reconstructions.
