CLST 324 - Shipwreck Archaeology

Institution:

Loyola University Chicago

Subject:

Description:

Students study how the technology of scuba diving combined with scientific archaeology has created a new discipline of shipwreck archaeology since the 1960s. They follow the history of the discipline and explore shipwrecks from Bronze Age Greece to nineteenth-century Chicago. Outcome: Students understand the iportance of vessels conserved at Skuldelev, Lake Nemi and Uluburun for tracing the development of commerce and technology among the Vikings, the Romans, and the Syro-Palestinians of the Levant. They synthesize the research and conclusions of nautical archaeologists worldwide and organize those findings for presentation to a broader public in the coherent and imaginative form of their own Museum.
