Maritime archaeology deals with shipwrecks and is carried out by
divers rather than diggers..It embraces maritime history and
analyzes changes in ship-building, navigation, and seamanship, and
offers fresh perspectives on the cultures and societies that
produced the ships and sailors. Drawing on detailed past and recent
case studies, Richard A. Gould provides an up-to-date review of the
field that includes dramatic new findings arising from improved
undersea technologies. This second edition of Archaeology and the
Social History of Ships has been updated throughout to reflect new
findings and new interpretations of old sites. The new edition
explores advances in undersea technology in archaeology, especially
remotely operated vehicles. The book reviews many of the major
recent shipwreck findings, including the Vasa in Stockholm, the
Viking wrecks at Roskilde Fjord, and the Titanic.
