Archaeological Artifacts Of Anémone : Signature Of A Ship Of A Naval Ship Used As A Custom Ship In Lesser Antilles ?

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Anémone Project Les Saintes (Guadeloupe) : Result of the first multi-year underwater archaeological excavation in the French West Indies 2015-2019", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Although more limited on the Anémone’s site, the discoveries of archaeological material in situ have also allowed us to deepen our knowledge of this wreck, particularly on aspects related to the internal functioning of this ship as a place of life and work for sailors of the early nineteenth century in the Lesser Antilles. Indeed, the study of the function of each of the artifacts found among three major material classes (shipboard equipment / personal objects / armament), as well as the analysis of their spatial distribution offers a living window on the daily life of this ship of the domain, as well as on its interior layout.
