Shipwrecks, Archeology & Antique Pottery From South China Sea INFORMATIONS Nanhai marine Archaeology is a Malaysian based company specializingin the search for historical shipwrecks, underwater archeology and research http://www.mingwrecks.com/shipwrecks.html
Extractions: Shipwrecks which remain undisturbed on the seabed for centuries provide vital information about the past. The challenge of archeology is to understand the past by studying material traces. On land, archaeologists may excavate burial sites, lost monuments or deposited waste. At sea, marine archaeologists may excavate ships fully loaded with today's antique pottery. Object on board are usually assumed to be contemporary products dating from the year of sinking. Antique pottery recovered from such dated assemblages in the South China Sea, yield important clues about Asia's ceramics developments and associated maritime trade. Dating antique pottery from production or burial sites often gives conflicting results. Neither stratigraphy nor scientific dating is problem free. Items included in burials are particularily likely to be some years old by the date of internment. Ceramic cargo found on shipwrecks is however likely to be contemporary. Scientific, stylistic and historical analysis are all relevent for dating. Cross-referencing the results of related shipwrecks can make the resultant puzzle more complex, but ultimately allow dating with greater precision. The nine shipwrecks introduced here are such perfect time capsules.

Extractions: Abandoned Shipwreck Act Guidelines Part II. Guidelines H. Interpreting Shipwreck Sites Section 4(b) of the Act says that funds available to the States from HPF grants shall be available for a variety of activities, including interpretation of historic shipwrecks and properties. Whether using HPF grants, other monies, or working in partnership with the various interest groups, providing for the interpretation of publicly-owned shipwrecks helps increase the public's knowledge and understanding of our nation's maritime history and appreciation for shipwrecks and their preservation. Interpreting sites also is the only means to impart to the public the historical information and archeological discoveries that result from public and private sector shipwreck projects. The following guidelines are offered to assist the States and Federal agencies in providing for the interpretation of shipwrecks under their ownership or control. Guideline 1: Present information on the vessel's history and the shipwreck's various values and uses. Interpretive efforts should strive to present to the public information about a vessel's construction, type, characteristics, age, use history, significance in history (such as participation in historical events or associations with significant individualslike a designer, a builder or a commanding officer), and whether it is unique or representative of a vessel type. In addition, information on a shipwreck's various current and potential future values and uses should be presented.

Mutate, Migrate, Adapt, or Die by Daniel J. Lenihan It should be no surprise to anyone involved in public archeology that the submerged lands of the Park Service have a significant cultural legacy. The marine parks come immediately to mind"common ground" both wet and salty: Cape Cod National Seashore, the Virgin Islands, California's Point Reyes, and Florida's Biscayne National Park, to mention a few. Then, of course, there are the inland seasour five Great Lakes. One of these parks, Michigan's Isle Royale, even had one of its historic shipwrecks used as the setting for a popular murder mystery. What we tend to have very little awareness of is the underwater world of our classic inland parks, far from the Gulf Coast or the shores of Hawaii. Few would guess that we manage almost as much submerged bottom land in Montana and Wyoming as we do in Florida (if we don't count semi-submerged places like Big Cypress and Everglades).

Extractions: Related Fields For people who are drawn to life at sea, a tremendous number of people are needed to operate military or research vessels. They must know basic seamanship, navigation, mechanics, pneumatics, and hydraulics. Most research vessels are capable of remaining at sea for several weeks. A galley staff is essential for the preparation of meals. These are the chief cooks and bottle washers. These crewmembers may even double as machinists or emergency personnel, as space on a research vessel is limited. The crew of the research vessel will also need indepth understanding of pumps, engines, pulleys, cables, and all the other auxiliary equipment needed to deploy the ROV or submersible. Many will be trained in emergency medical procedures. Others are trained in specialty diving techniques for emergency situations. The list of ocean-related careers is endless. There are many careers that may be needed in the future that don't exist today. As technology becomes more complex, the need for specialized jobs will increase. It seems difficult to imagine choosing a career that doesn't exist today! The amount of training required is as varied as the positions themselves. Educational requirements will vary from the high school graduates, military personnel, and technical school and college graduates (B.S. to Ph.D.).

Extractions: One wreck not listed is Morrow Castle , lost off the coast of New Jersey in the 1930s. The wreck of Andrea Doria in 1956 is listed under New Jersey even though, as the entry notes, it sank off the coast of Massachusetts. No mention is made of the role of Ile de France in the dramatic rescue by the Andrea Doria 's passengers and crew. At the beginning of the U.S. section, the Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987 is discussed but not the controversial salvage of DeBraak off the Delaware coast that spurred the legislation. The entry on DeBraak also does not mention the controversy. This source covers more lesser-known shipwrecks, specifically in Caribbean waters, than Shipwrecks: An Encyclopedia of the World's Worst Disasters at Sea (Facts On File, 2000). A more scholarly source of information is the Encyclopedia of Underwater and Maritime Archaeology (Yale, 1998). Marine archaeologists may find this source useful, but it has a focus on commercial salvage. Recommended for libraries serving patrons with an interest in diving, marine archaeology, and sunken treasures. RBB

Extractions: Boomerangs Boomerangs, which are basically curved, aerodynamically enhanced sticks, have long been in use as hunting tools in many countries (including India). But the returning boomerang, used as an amusing toy by Australian aboriginals, has attracted much attention for nearly two centuries. It is perhaps best seen as a flying top that uses aerodynamic and gyroscopic forces for 'steering' it back to the thrower. A small collection of boomerangs acquired during visits to Australia will be on display. The Language of the Dancing Bees Honeybees live in large colonies consisting of tens of thousands of worker bees, a few drones and a single queen. The older worker bees specialize in surveying the environment of the colony for nectar, pollen, water and propolis. Upon finding a profitable resource, worker bees return to their colonies and recruit other workers for transporting the discovered material to the nest. To do so, honeybees use a dance language. Being a system of communication involving arbitrary symbolic conventions, the honey bee dance language is thought to be closer to human language than anything else ever used by animals. In this talk I will introduce the honeybees, describe the properties of their dance language and review recent research aimed at convincing skeptics that honey bees do indeed use the information contained in the dance language to locate food and other resources.

Extractions: California History and Marine Archaeology: Working to Preserve Our Heritage California's history is very exciting, made of day-to-day events that start with the Native Americans and continue to this very day. Archaeological resources is the term given to the places and objects that tell us how the people of California lived. Marine archaeology studies those places and objects that tell us how the people of California used the sea. Examples of marine archaeological resources include shipwrecks, prehistoric village sites that are now underwater, objects placed in the ocean by Native Americans during their ceremonies, and cargo lost from the deck of an explorer's ship during a storm.
