Within the IJNA dataset, the Type A method was applied in 30 different articles, notes, or editorials, although three of those reiterated an identity previously reported.Footnote 3 Their subjects ranged in date from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, an era rich in historical information about seafaring, and were sought in 12 different coun...
Within the IJNA corpus, 63 different publications in the journal were Type C investigations; three of them, however, were reaffirming an earlier attribution through additional research. As indicated earlier, Type C investigations are those characterized by the discovery and investigation of a wreck site first, and the attempt to attribute an affili...
Unlike the previous three types of investigations, Type D studies do not form or apply an identity that has a presence beyond the archaeological sphere. Thus, a Type D study does not identify a particular ship, such as Mary Rose, nor does it conclude that a ship is “English”, a signifier common to a variety of disciplines and sources. Instead, the ...

digital photogrammetry. This means that shipwrecks sites can be recorded and generate a high-resolution site plan following one dive rather than over the course of an entire field season. The final trend explored in this review is the shift towards stronger and more robust interpretations in the field of maritime archaeology.
Feb 1, 2021 · The bow area of the Mazotos shipwreck site was the test platform of choice for the LS Project, because it is fully excavated, thus the archaeological data could be used for spatial analysis with the least possible degree of uncertainty: more than 300 of intact or partly preserved amphorae have been recovered from the wreck and are currently stored at the Archaeological Museum in Larnaca (Cyprus).

Apr 21, 2023 · Although acoustic methods are by far the most powerful techniques to locate and characterize submerged archaeological sites, magnetic and laser techniques have also proven successful in locating shipwrecks (Gearhart 2011), and they are therefore sometimes used in combination with acoustic technology. Magnetometers are passive devices that record perturbations in the Earth’s magnetic field.
