Shipwrecks

Filipe Vieira de Castro • January 2026

This section deals with information recovered from shipwreck sites. From the beginning, the NADL was concerned with a number of questions pertaining to:

  • the standardization of the collection of information from a shipwreck site;
  • the standardization of the storage of the different supports and types of information retrieved from a shipwreck site during the survey and excavation phases;
  • a reflection on the most effective ways to publish primary information;
  • a reflection on the best ways to interpret and reconstruct ships from their archaeological remains.
