Contrary to the situation in many countries, maritime archaeology in Denmark has always enjoyed the support of terrestrial archaeologists and other academic disciplines. From its beginnings in the late I950s maritime archaeology in Denmark has proven to be a valued sub-discipline of archaeology and natural science. This paper will discuss the evolution of maritime archaeology within Denmark from the Skuldelev excavations in the late I 9 50s and the subsequent development of the Viking Ship Museum, the Institute for Maritime Archaeology and culminating in the establishment of the National Museum of Denmark's Centre for Maritime Archaeology in 1993. The focus of the paper will be on how the success of maritime archaeology in Denmark is based upon the multi-faceted nature of the research which has been, and is being, conducted. The areas of research being studied reflect the progressive development of maritime archaeology in Denmark, which includes not only ships and boats, but wider aspects of the maritime cultural landscape. The close relationships between the various institutions at Roskilde, the Danish National Museum and other archaeological and academic institutions nationally and internationally will be illustrated with examples drawn from the thematic group 'Techniques and Auxiliary Sciences in Maritime Archaeology', one of the four thematic areas of research ongoing at the Centre. | ||
