The Petrology and Geochemistry of Ballast Stones- Evidence of Voyaging and Identity

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "The Underwater Archeology of a French Slave Ship In Northern Mozambique- L'Aurore", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

This paper discusses novel techniques of geochemical analysis applied to ballast stones from the Ile de Mozambique Shipwreck (IDM-013) by Dr. Richard Palin of the Department of Geochemistry at Oxford University's Department of Earth Sciences. Techniques, and implications for the presumed identity of this shipwreck are discussed in detail with implications for future research.
