Abstract
Introduction --; swimming against the tide
John M Coles
1 - 3
The paper discusses the outward-looking approaches witnessed at the tenth WARP Conference, held in Olympia, Washington State, USA, in April 2003. The author argues for the necessity for wetland archaeologists to take opportunities more actively and processually, and to initiate ways of turning the tide of opinion in their favour.
Medieval fish traps on the Shannon estuary, Ireland: interpreting people, place and identity in estuari...
Aidan O'Sullivan
65 - 77
Recent archaeological surveys on estuaries in Britain and Ireland have uncovered evidence for medieval and post-medieval fish traps, which often exhibit regional characteristics and long-term continuities of fishing practices. The author argues that this may reveal that past fishing communities would have been aware of this `archaeology of the mudflats' and would have actively used their local knowledge to construct and negotiate their social identities and economic practices.
Archaeology and the death of coastal fishing in Britain
Rick Turner
79 - 86
In recent studies, archaeologists have demonstrated that surviving techniques of coastal fishing have a very long history. This is complimented by the work of oral historians and folk life curators in recording the traditions, language and equipment of the remaining practitioners of these crafts. Regulations and initiatives aimed at the protection of Atlantic salmon and rod fisheries are at the same time threatening to close ancient coastal fisheries. The paper looks at the history of this dilemma and asks if the cultural heritage of these ancient traditions should be given greater weight in the attempts to preserve the species of fish that they catch.
Shipwrights, sailors and society in the Middle Bronze Age of NW Europe
Peter Clark
87 - 96
The paper considers that the discovery of the Dover boat (1550 cal BC) suggests that contemporary models of Middle Bronze Age social structure, focused on the extended family group, are not the whole story in that such vessels would not have served a single household. The author argues that many people would have been involved in its construction and supplying its crew, whilst its very existence implies long-distance contact between wider level social polities, raising questions concerning who would have had the expertise to build such a vessel and sail it across open seas. Taking the Dover boat as a starting point, the paper speculates on the nature of social structure during the Middle Bronze Age.
Deconstructing reconstruction: the Bronze Age sewn plank boats from North Ferriby...
Malcolm C Lillie
97 - 109
The paper considers the process of archaeological reconstruction from the initial discovery of the Bronze Age Ferriby boats, their original dating and environmental context through the re-evaluation of the discoveries by their original finder, Ted Wright, between 1937 and 1963, up to the recent re-dating and current reconstruction project.
