Venue: The University of Portsmouth
A two day conference (with associated events) organised in partnership with the University of Portsmouth and the University of Portsmouth Heritage Hub themed around celebrating how maritime archaeology is bringing our past to life through analogue and digital practice.
The conference will bring together researchers, professional practitioners and avocationals from across the world to explore traditional, creative and innovative methods and tools being used to protect and preserve our maritime past. The conference is themed around how a blend of analogue and digital methods can shape our understanding and the presentation of our maritime heritage. Papers could explore excavated archaeological assemblages, digital experiences, documentary archives, displayed museum collections and underwater sites such as wrecks, crannogs or submerged landscapes.
The organisers encourage UK and international papers exploring both archaeological theory and practice.
