Abstract The goals of this article are twofold. First, we detail the operations and discuss results 2005 Chios ancient shipwreck survey. This survey was conducted by an international team engineers, archaeologists, natural scientists off Greek island in northeastern Aegean Sea using autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) built specifically for high‐resolution site inspection characterization. Second, as context, identify specific challenges adapting AUV technology deep water archaeology...
In 2000, a major expedition for deepwater archaeology was conducted by the Institute Exploration in Black Sea along northwestern coast of Turkey from Bosporus to Turkish seaport Sinop. A complementary land-based will be reported upon elsewhere. The 2000 underwater had three research objectives: search evidence human habitation prior flooding that researchers predicted occurred some 7,500 years ago; investigate shipping route; and ancient wooden ships sea's anoxic bottom waters. Research...
AbstractIn this paper we examine underwater imaging for archaeology and especially the use of multiple acoustic optical sensors at varying degrees resolution reconnaissance mapping sites on seafloor. Specifically, look role side-scan sonar locating suitable interest, which may then be mapped quantitatively with bathymetric sonars. We also discuss conventional digital video cameras in providing high redundant imagery, how, after compensating lighting other artifacts, such imagery assembled...
In 2005 a Greek and American interdisciplinary team investigated two shipwrecks off the coast of Chios dating to 4th-century B.C. 2nd/1st century. The project pioneered archaeological methods precision acoustic, digital image, chemical survey using an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in-situ sensors, increasing speed data acquisition while decreasing costs. AUV recorded revealing physical dimensions, age, cargo, preservation wrecks. earlier wreck contained more than 350 amphoras,...
Maritime archaeological investigations of the wreck medieval warship Gribshunden (1495), flagship King Hans Denmark and Norway, have revealed diverse artifacts including exotic spices imported from far distant origins: saffron, ginger, clove, peppercorns, almond. The special circumstances vessel’s last voyage add unique context to assemblage. an accompanying squadron conveyed king, courtiers, noblemen, soldiers Copenhagen a political summit in Kalmar, Sweden. At that conference, expected...
Electrification of the automobile is a growing trend and will create both challenges opportunities for vehicle manufacturer, road network infrastructure driver. In addition to innovative fundamental battery power transfer technologies, electric vehicles integrate unique driver interfaces, intelligence, traffic awareness wireless data communication provide complete support system. This networked improve efficiency, increase cruising range contribute overall driving enjoyment an or plug-in...
Abstract In 1495, the royal Danish ship Gribshunden sank in Baltic Sea, near town of Ronneby. During archaeological excavations 2019, a wooden barrel submerged inside shipwreck revealed almost complete and well-preserved remains sturgeon fish. this paper, we present find terms species identification, estimation number individuals, size reconstruction butchery marks. Results show that most likely derive from one specimen Atlantic (Acipenser oxyrinchus). Species identification was made on...
We present the archaeological discovery and microscale X-ray Computed Tomography (µCT) scanning of a silver coin purse lost in medieval shipwreck while king who issued many coins was aboard. The find demonstrates that shipwrecks are extraordinary repositories historical information, this case providing insight into one most important dramatic events Scandinavia. In summer 1495, Gribshunden, flagship King Hans, ruler Denmark Norway, burned sank Baltic Sea en route to political summit Sweden....
The Royal flagship Gribshunden carried the Danish King Hans on its way to city of Kalmar in Sweden when ship sank summer 1495. caught fire while anchored north Stora Ekö Island and seafloor, where it lies this day. wreck was rediscovered 1970s is remarkably well preserved. Since 2001, scientific investigations have been performed by various organizations. In total, 13 dendrochronological samples from different parts construction collected analyzed with standard methods respect age...
Abstract Maritime archaeology excavations, even in a more complex environment, have the same objectives and requirements as terrestrial ones: documenting digging operations to analyze data best way, interpreting it, producing new knowledge for benefit of multiple communities. 3D documentation management methodologies spread widely among practitioners; however, comprehensive tools scholarly publications still require development. This article contributes discussion on archaeological its need...
Abstract We present an interim archaeological report on the shipwreck of Danish-Norwegian flagship Gribshunden . Built in 1485, extensively employed by King Hans as his floating castle, and ultimately lost June 1495 en route to Kalmar, ship carried people material selected further political goal re-unifying Nordic region. Three field campaigns led Lund University Blekinge Museum after 2019 have delivered a compelling assemblage mundane artefacts high-status items, some without precedent, all...
Deep-sea autonomous positioning is susceptible to unmodeled measurement errors. Acoustic range measurements for long baseline navigation are not normally distributed, a situation that erodes the robustness and precision of estimation techniques. A mixed-distribution model captures combination direct-path, multipath, spurious returns common acoustic localization in limited-range survey. Expectation-Maximization concurrently identifies parameters characterizes observations, converging on...
