Southeast Asia, with Indonesia at its core, was the epicentre of most extraordinary expansion global trade ever witnessed along Maritime Silk Route. But this story is incomplete because many objects trade, and shipwrecks from which they originated, were salvaged dispersed without adequate archaeological recording details their find-spots. This article critically assesses prevailing legislative ethical landscape underwater cultural heritage (UCH) in Indonesia, delineating underlying tensions...
Ocean-going ships were key to rising maritime economies of the Early Modern period, and understanding how they built is critical grasp challenges faced by shipwrights merchant seafarers. Shipwreck timbers hold material evidence dynamic interplay wood supplies, craftmanship, evolving ship designs that helped shape world. Here we present results dendroarchaeological research carried out on Batavia's wreck timbers, currently display at Western Australian Shipwrecks Museum in Fremantle. Built...
Eight months into its maiden voyage to the Indies, Dutch East India Company's Batavia sank on June 4, 1629 Morning Reef in Houtman Abrolhos off western coast of Australia. Wendy van Duivenvoorde's five-year study was aimed at reconstructing hull , only excavated remains an early seventeenth-century Indiaman have been raised and conserved a way that permits detailed examination, using data retrieved from archaeological remains, interpreted light company archives, ship journals, texts...
Much has been written on the use of lead and copper sheathing in post mediaeval shipbuilding, yet evidence for such hull protection by Dutch shipwrights 17th 18th centuries received little attention. A discussion archaeological historical pertaining to application long-distance trading companies outlines argument innovative character, experimental use—on ships' hulls—and standardization—on sternposts—as early as 1602. Archaeological presented mainly comes from East Indiamen Nassau (1606),...
The Indigenous intangible heritage related to wrecked vessels has been poorly studied and documented. This article provides a counter dominant maritime archaeology discourses via the investigation of Aboriginal significance attributed submerged River Murray barge (Crowie) in South Australia. There are numerous layers that may be Crowie including relationship community with their 'underwater country', contributions riverboat industry, use terms vessel-naming practices. Geophysical data from...
Abstract Two similar watercraft depicted in rock art at Awunbarna, Arnhem Land, Australia, are unlike the Macassan prahus and Western craft shown other contact sites northern but sufficiently detailed to offer evidence for identification. Both appear display triangular flags, pennants, prow adornments indicating martial status. By comparing these two depictions with historically recorded from Island Southeast Asia, their probable origin is have been eastern Maluku Tenggara Indonesia. These...
The Tektaş Burnu ship (440–425 BC) sank along a rough and desolate stretch of the Turkish Aegean coast. Archaeological excavation shipwreck site by Institute Nautical Archaeology at Texas A&M University resulted in retrieval hundreds small fragments from ship's wooden hull its metal fasteners. Recent study this artefact assemblage suggests that coastal trader was built with pine planks made-frames, assembled shell-based construction method. Fasteners include pegged mortise-and-tenon joints...
The Dutch United East India Company ship Zuiddorp vanished on its way to Batavia in 1712 – last port of call was the Cape Good Hope. After wreck found Western Australian coast, archaeological investigations resulted retrieval 21 lead ingots. Recent study this artefact assemblage, comprising both great pigs and pieces, suggests that they were north English origin. Historical records indicate procured large quantities from sources maritime trade links between ports well established at...
Abstract This article shows that it is possible to identify a vessel from disarticulated ship remains missing their original depositional context. By studying dispersed collection of timbers, fasteners, and hull sheathing previously unidentified shipwreck on the Gold Coast, Australia, authors were able as most likely colonial schooner Heroine . In this instance there several identifications for remains, so historical research, detailed artifact recording, timber metal analyses used study...
Abstract The loss of the Dutch East India Company ship Batavia in 1629 on Houtman Abrolhos off west coast Australia and subsequent mutiny is one most dramatic events history European encounters with Australia, was widely popularized 17th-century publications. archaeological remains surpass that a shipwreck its consequent jetsam flotsam, are silent witnesses to cultural landscape survival created within few months by horrible sequence events.

This article discusses two inscriptions thought to be associated with wrecks of the Dutch East India Company (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie) ships Vergulde Draak and Zuiddorp, off Western Australian coastline. We evaluate their authenticity using comparative studies similar contemporaneous inscriptions, placing them within broader context pseudoarchaeology public preoccupation surrounding shipwrecks. The morphology manufacture lettering argues against a 17th or 18th century provenance....
SUMMARY: The Dutch East India Company ship Zuiddorp (also known as Zuytdorp) met its demise in 1712 at the base of steep cliffs along Western Australian coast. Material from shipwreck includes an extraordinary example a caryatid herm ship’s stern counter. A recent study this sculpture and pigments found on surface demonstrates Zuiddorp’s archaic construction adornment, which is more late 17th-century, than early 18th-century, Indiaman. This paper discusses results emphasizes how smallest...
Abstract Zuytdorp is one of four known Dutch East India Company shipwrecks off the western Australian coast. Believed to have foundered in fall 1712, its wreck site was located 1927 on a remote stretch central Since identification 1958, has been investigated during several archaeological expeditions. The cause Zuytdorp’s wrecking, however, never properly assessed. Some researchers assume ship crashed into shore due an inaccurate longitude determination. Others believe reached coastline...
