Heritage and the Sea Volume 1: Maritime History and Archaeology of the Global Iberian World (15th-18th centuries) by Ana Crespo Solana
English | EPUB | 2022 | 376 Pages | ISBN : 3030864596 | 18.7 MB
This two-volume set highlights the importance of Iberian shipbuilding in the centuries of the so-called first globalization (15th to 18th), in confluence with an unprecedented extension of ocean navigation and seafaring and a greater demand for natural resources (especially timber), mostly oak (Quercus spp.) and Pine (Pinus spp.).
The chapters are framed in a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary line of research that integrates history, Geographic Information Sciences, underwater archaeology, dendrochronology and wood provenance techniques. This line of research was developed during the ForSEAdiscovery project, which had a great impact in the academic and scientific world and brought together experts from Europe and America.
