The Archaeology of Vernacular Watercraft: When the Land Meets the Sea

Editat de Amanda M. Evans
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 mar 2017
This volume presents multiple idiographic, archaeological studies of vernacular watercraft from North America and the Caribbean. Rather than attempt to synthesize all vernacular types, this volume focuses on ship construction data recovered through archaeological investigations that has been used to make inferences about culture. This collection of case studies, including many examples from cultural resource management and graduate student theses, presents a thematic exploration of cultural adaptation as expressed through ship construction.
