Abstract
Boats for rivers and mountains; sources for new narratives about river travel?
Pål Nymoen
3 - 16
The author argues that logboats are often considered to be of low status, both technologically and functionally. The article presents three logboats dated to the Roman era and late Viking age, found in the region of Telemark, Norway. The principal concern is to discuss how notions about prehistoric boats can be made known, challenged and discussed by examining the three boats in the context of the rivers and lakes in which they were most probably used.
Boats apart. Building and equipping an Iron-Age and early-medieval ship in northern Europe
Christer Westerdahl
17 - 31
The paper considers an aspect of archaeological ship remains that runs parallel to, or is contained within, the technological and social aspects usually studied. It is argued that maritime societies and individuals develop cosmologies and rituals which they consider as necessary for survival as strategies for sustenance. The author suggests that it is an additional challenge to archaeology to explore and interpret these cognitive elements and their role in maritime cultures of the past, illustrated here by the wood, the building place, the equipment, and the ship as a unit, illustrating power, ancestors, and pars-pro-toto. Scandinavian data.
Underwater archaeology on foot; a systematic rapid foreshore survey on the north K...

142 - 152
It is suggested that foreshore archaeology can be considered `underwater archaeology on foot', because it is possible to investigate the archaeological heritage at low tide without the need for diving. Rising sea-levels, increasing coastal erosion and the loss of important foreshore environments make immediate action necessary. In 2005, Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to continue a Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey on the north Kent coast as part of a project started in 2001. In four weeks 378 monuments were updated and 198 new monuments recorded, among them a submerged forest, a trackway, several fish-traps and shipwrecks.
Provenance of coals recovered from the wreck of HMAV Bounty
Nigel Erskine
A H V Smith
Peter J Crosdale
171 - 176
Coal samples from HMAV Bounty were analysed using standard techniques to shed light on their provenance. Petrographic analysis indicated they were Carboniferous, with high vitrinite and liptinite content and a mean random reflectance of vitrinite of 0.99%. Palynological analysis indicated the samples were derived from the Middle Coal Measures, Westphalian B. Combining coal rank (vitrinite reflectance), age, knowledge of seam distributions and coalfield history indicates the most like source to be the Durham Coalfield, possibly the Hutton or Low Main Seams. These coals were mined along the valley of the Weir in the latter part of the eighteenth century.
From mud to flood; the most ambitious longship voyage yet
Angela Croome
187 - 189
Short article on the voyage in 2007 of the recreated Viking longship Skuldelev 2, renamed Sea Stallion from Glendalough, from Roskilde fjord in Denmark to Dublin, round the north of Scotland. The article also describes a commemorative booklet, Welcome on board! The Sea Stallion from Glendalough -- a Viking longship recreated (Viking Ship Museum, 2007).
