This volume is a detailed gazetteer of fish-salting production in the northwest Maghreb in antiquity. It consists of a catalogue of fish-salting sites in addition to catalogues of other related resources that are necessary for the production and trans-shipment of the industry's products: salt and amphorae kilns. The gazetteer is intended to serve as a comprehensive source book, and as such, it builds upon previous studies and current research on the region's fish-salting industry.

Dans le cadre du projet CBDAMM (Renforcement des capacités des méthodes d’acquisition de données en vue de promouvoir les pratiques de gestion du patrimoine naturel et culturel au Maroc), un ensemble de recommandations pour les processus d’acquisition de données dans les milieux marins et les zones humides côtières a été établi pour les parties prenantes marocaines. Cette brochure, intitulée ‘Recommandations pour les bonnes pratiques en matière de méthodes d’acquisition de données pour la gestion du patrimoine naturel et culturel des zones humides côtières marocaines’, vise à décrire les procédures fonctionnelles pour mener des études côtières scientifiques dans le contexte marocain. Cette brochure décrit les exigences, les méthodes et les pratiques des quatre domaines scientifiques qui reposent sur des données partagées provenant de ces investigations: hydrographie, géologie marine, biologie marine et toxicologie, archéologie maritime et gestion du patrimoine. Le contenu résume les ateliers, les séjours scientifiques et les recherches sur le terrain menées au cours du projet CBDAMM, avec pour étude de cas spécifique: Oued Bouregreg, une rivière à marée semidiurne de type mésotidal et une zone humide qui s’étend entre les centres urbains de Rabat et Salé, sur la Côte Atlantique du Maroc.

Just as the sea has played a pivotal role in the connectivity of people, economies and cultures, it has also provided a common platform for inter-disciplinary cooperation amongst academics. This book is a selection of conference papers and other contributions that has seen the coming-together of scholars and researchers from backgrounds as diverse as archaeology, history, ethnography, maritime and heritage studies of the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. Its strength lies in the way such diversity has been harnessed to provide an engaging and insightful study of the sea and its influences on various factors of life - both past and present.

Denmark and Greece both possess vast territorial waters that hold irreplaceable tangible cultural heritage including shipwrecks and submerged settlements. These countries have therefore been at the global forefront of developing the discipline of underwater archaeology. Underwater Archaeology and Cultural Resources: Methodology, Preservation and Communication – A Dialogue Between Denmark and Greece presents shared and distinct approaches to underwater cultural heritage. This publication features contributions from leading Danish and Greek specialists, based on a series of double lectures held at the Danish Institute at Athens, and captures vital cross-cultural and scientific exchanges that highlight best practices and innovations in exploring, preserving and communicating underwater cultural heritage. Designed to engage both academic audiences and the wider public, the book provides valuable insights into how underwater heritage can be studied, protected, and meaningfully shared with society.

This multidisciplinary volume is a collection of 13 articles reporting on recent research on the archaeology of shipwrecks, maritime visual culture, and cultural heritage management in the Mediterranean region. While papers in this volume’s predecessor, ‘Under the Mediterranean I’, were arranged thematically, the present volume organizes the research regionally, from the East Mediterranean westward, and within each region chronologically.Following the editors’ introduction, the volume begins with case studies on integrated management in East Africa and the East Mediterranean. Subsequent subjects covered in the eastern Mediterranean range from ancient mariners’ ex votos to an update on the Classical Mazotos shipwreck, and from an investigation of a Roman wreck in Cyprus to an analysis of cargo loading processes on the Ma’agan Mikhael B. Moving to the central Mediterranean, papers include the long legacy of rock art, and an ancient Aegean ship’s cargo assemblage, both in Sicily. An analysis of how iconographic sources can supplement material remains, especially perishable material like rigging, is also presented. Some 32 Roman-era shipwreck cargoes are addressed in the Tyrrhenian, while another paper analyses the distribution of heavy cargos, such as marble. Moving forward in time to the Imperial Age, one chapter examines the ceramic and organic remains from the Torre Santa Sabina I wreck, Italy, and another the wreck of the Capo Sagro II wreck from Corsica. The final paper presents a forward-looking analysis of integrated management on a global scale.This book will be of interest to students and archaeologists researching the Mediterranean region, and all readers interested in a wide range of recent advances in maritime archaeology, the history of art, and critical heritage studies.
