What is the NAS Training Programme? | Nautical Archaeology Society. The NAS International Training Programme has been delivering courses in nautical archaeology for over 25 years. The programme aims to provide not just an introduction to the subject but also to offer people a chance to build their skills and experience, allowing them to take part in projects and fieldwork around the world and perhaps to run their own projects The Training Programme has a modular structure, starting with a one day Introduction Course and working through the Part I, II and III Certificates and finally the Part IV Diploma.
The programme is open to everybody with the Introduction course requiring no prior learning or qualifications and the programme is designed to allow you to become as involved as you like - with courses in a wide range of topics and subject areas within nautical archaeology there is something for everybody! The Nautical Archaeology Society Training Programme is aligned with the National Occupation Standards (NOS) for Archaeological Practice. Maritime Archaeology Trust Maritime Archaeology Trust, HWTMA Volunteering. The Maritime Archaeology Trust values highly the contribution of volunteers.
We have a group of individuals who volunteer with us by regularly, coming into our offices to help with project work and also (where appropriately qualified) help with diving and foreshore projects. Unfortunately, it is not always possible for us to accommodate volunteers though we do our best to do so within the projects that we have running. Get the latest volunteering opportunities delivered to your inbox We would love to let you know about our current volunteering opportunities. Please register your email address to recieve our volunteer e-newsletter. Volunteering Fieldwork Maritime archaeology is not just about shipwrecks that lie on the seabed, accessible only by divers.
Volunteering Diving The Maritime Archaeology Trust runs a programme of volunteer and student diving projects. There is diving on a range of sites around the Solent, incuding dive days and longer residential projects. Volunteering Research.

The Illicit Antiquities Trade as a Transnational Criminal Network: Characterizing and Anticipating Trafficking of Cultural Heritage | Peter Campbell.
To be worth US$2.2 billion annually; however, the financial scope of the illicittrade is ultimately unknowable as black market statistics are notoriously diffi-cult to ascertain. A precise characterization of the trade has arguably eludedresearchers since the observable aspects of antiquities trafficking have proved tobe incredibly variable.
This article argues that the illicit antiquities trade is orga-nized as a network similar to other trafficking, where loosely connected andinterchangeable participants give the appearance of complexity; however, par-ticipants are guided by simple rules that provide an identifiable underlying struc-ture. This research focuses specifically on trafficking, defined as transnationalmovement of illicit commodities, rather than local or indigenous looting as afunction of engagement with the past, which exhibits its own structure. The flexibility of criminal networks creates a myriad of challenges forlaw enforcement. Raiders of the lost wrecks fined. Finding treasure.
Copyrighted image Credit: photos.com It is every historian’s dream retirement plan. You are walking in a field and your toe strikes something metal and gold. In the family attic, your hand reaches behind a rafter and there is a priceless packet of letters, unopened since the 18th century. It does happen, of course, but not as often as many would like. If you are fortunate enough to make a valuable find, there is a lot more to do before you can think of booking the holiday of a lifetime or ordering a new car.
Treasure trove in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is governed by the 1996 Treasure Act, which came into force on 24 September 1997. In some cases what exactly constitutes treasure trove is very complicated. 8website. Possible ownership of the house or area where the find was made;how old the object is;its financial and historic value;why and whether it was concealed; andthe circumstances of discovery.

The seas around England contain an immense wealth of archaeological sites and remains. As a country that has experienced successive waves of settlement over many centuries and as a major mercantile, naval, industrial and imperial power, the history of England and the experience of many of its inhabitants has been inextricably linked to its surrounding seas.
Maritime archaeology comprises the study of the evidence of all past human activity related to the sea around our shores. The maritime resource includes prehistoric sites that were once land, other coastal features such as early fish-traps, submerged structures from defending our coast in the World Wars, and shipwrecks from all ages. Submerged prehistoric sites might be the seabed deposits themselves, which are known to contain in-situ Palaeolithic deposits or artefacts dating back 700,000 years, relating to periods during the many cycles of Ice Age activity when large areas of our present seabed was dry land.

July 28th, 2014 -- Former Director of Fisheries on Nevis and active marine conservationist, Emile Lemuel Pemberton, represented the Federation at a Steering committee Meeting on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage held July 14-18 in Nassau Bahamas.
The United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) led meeting brought together a cadre of specialists and stakeholders including Government officials, Directors of Culture, historians and archaeologists from Latin America and the Caribbean. International Experts were also among participants who addressed issues regarding the protection and research of underwater or submerged heritage. The Steering Committee members also shared experiences with regard to the implementation of the 2001 Convention, and evaluated its potentials for development, education and tourism in Latin America and the Caribbean. • the Caribbean and Latin America;

Dave Parham, University of Bournemouth Part of the show Underwater Archaeology and Underwater Welding Diana - Shipwrecks are often described as underwater time capsules. They can give us a snapshot in time from the bygone years, glimpses into military life, trading relations between countries, social life, and construction techniques. And to discuss the archaeology of shipwrecks, we have with us an archaeologist with mask, fins, and spare snorkel: Dr. Dave Parham from Bournemouth University. Dave - It’s an early 17th century – probably a Dutch-owned - merchantman that was wrecked outside Pearl Harbour and found about 10 years ago now.
Diana - What sorts of problems are facing it when it’s in its current state? Dave - Well it’s been buried since it was wrecked sometime in the 1630s but gradually over the last 10 or 20 years, it started to become exposed. Diana - So how has it become exposed? Dave - It’s natural erosion. Diana - I see. Dave - Again, it’s the same thing. Diana - I see. SSW2_Experimental_maritime_archaeology.pdf. Interpreting_ancient_iconography.pdf. Indo-Roman Trade — Shipwrecks and Submerged Worlds. Mortise and tenon. Diagram of a mortise (on left) and tenon joint Through-wedged tenons used on a French granary. 1) Through tenon and 2) mortise as a shouldered joint The mortise[1] and tenon joint has been used for thousands of years by woodworkers around the world to join pieces of wood, mainly when the adjoining pieces connect at an angle of 90°.
In its basic form it is both simple and strong. Although there are many joint variations, the basic mortise and tenon comprises two components: the mortise hole and the tenon tongue. The tenon, formed on the end of a member generally referred to as a rail, is inserted into a square or rectangular hole cut into the corresponding member.
The tenon is cut to fit the mortise hole exactly and usually has shoulders that seat when the joint fully enters the mortise hole. This joint is also used with other materials. Types[edit] A mortise is a cavity cut into a timber to receive a tenon. Open mortise a mortise that has only three sides. Stub mortise Through mortise. Depth sounding. Depth sounding refers to the act of measuring depth; it is often referred to simply as sounding. Sounding is finding the depth of a given point in a body of water. Data taken from soundings are used in bathymetry to make maps of the floor of a body of water,[1] and were traditionally shown on nautical charts in fathoms and feet.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the agency responsible for bathymetric data in the United States, still uses fathoms and feet on nautical charts. In other countries, the International System of Units (metres) has become the standard for measuring depth. Terminology[edit] "Sounding" derives from the Old English sund, meaning swimming, water, sea; it is not related to the word sound in the sense of noise or tones.[2] Sounding[edit] Sounding lines aboard a frigate of the 19th century. Sounding was originally done by hand with sounding poles or a weighted sounding line when measuring greater depths.
See also[edit] References[edit] Cuneiform. Emerging in Sumer in the late 4th millennium BC (the Uruk IV period), cuneiform writing began as a system of pictographs. In the third millennium, the pictorial representations became simplified and more abstract as the number of characters in use grew smaller, from about 1,000 in the Early Bronze Age to about 400 in Late Bronze Age (Hittite cuneiform). The system consists of a combination of logophonetic, consonantal alphabetic and syllabic signs.[2] The original Sumerian script was adapted for the writing of the Akkadian, Eblaite, Elamite, Hittite, Luwian, Hattic, Hurrian, and Urartian languages, and it inspired the Ugaritic and Old Persian alphabets. Cuneiform writing was gradually replaced by the Phoenician alphabet during the Neo-Assyrian Empire. By the 2nd century AD, the script had become extinct, and all knowledge of how to read it was lost until it began to be deciphered in the 19th century.
History[edit] Proto-literate period[edit] Archaic cuneiform[edit] Akkadian cuneiform[edit] Aegean Sea. The Aegean Sea (/ɨˈdʒiːən/; Greek: Αιγαίο Πέλαγος [eˈʝeo ˈpelaɣos] ( ); Turkish: Ege Denizi or Adalar Denizi[2]) is an elongated embayment of the Mediterranean Sea located between the Greek and Anatolian peninsulas, i.e., between the mainlands of Greece and Turkey. In the north, it is connected to the Marmara Sea and Black Sea by the Dardanelles and Bosporus. The Aegean Islands are within the sea and some bound it on its southern periphery, including Crete and Rhodes. The sea was traditionally known as Archipelago (in Greek, Αρχιπέλαγος, meaning "chief sea"), but in English this word's meaning has changed to refer to the Aegean Islands and, generally, to any island group.
Etymology[edit] A possible etymology is a derivation from the Greek word αἶγες – aiges = "waves" (Hesychius of Alexandria; metaphorical use of αἴξ (aix) "goat"), hence "wavy sea", cf. also αἰγιαλός (aigialos = aiges (waves) + hals (sea)),[3] hence meaning "sea-shore".
