Uncovering Americas past through the archaeology of its shipwrecksThe Archaeology of American Shipwrecks highlights the essential role of watercraft in United States history and demonstrates how the study of submerged sites contributes to a deeper understanding of the nations past. Combining evidence from shipwreck excavations with historical documentation, this volume reveals how maritime archaeologists locate, document, and preserve these important sites.This book examines a variety of vessels through time, including Indigenous-built dugout canoes, colonial ships that brought Europeans to the Americas, ships created for the whaling industry, and modern ships built for coastal defense. By tracing the role of watercraft in exploration, commerce, warfare, and expansion, it underscores the pivotal influence of maritime transport well into the twentieth century. Providing an overview of major discoveries along with little-known and previously unpublished research and discussing technological advances, new and evolving methodologies, and ethical issues relevant to the field, this book is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the dynamic story of Americas waterways.

This book offers an unprecedented, interdisciplinary look at one of the Pacific War’s most brutal and least understood amphibious operations. Bringing together leading maritime archaeologists and marine scientists, this volume moves beyond conventional battle narratives to reconstruct Peleliu’s integrated battlespace—reef, lagoon, landing beaches, and airfield—through cutting edge remote sensing, 3D photogrammetry, and meticulous archival research. Readers follow Underwater Demolition Teams, amphibious forces, Seabees, and Palauan communities through first person accounts woven tightly into the archaeological record, revealing the human experiences behind the material remains. The book also breaks new ground by pairing conflict archaeology with detailed studies of long term coral reef resilience, demonstrating how warfare reshaped both cultural landscapes and marine environments. Timely, richly illustrated, and deeply humane, this volume will become a landmark reference for scholars, students, and general readers alike.

Battlefields have been the object of fascination for millions of tourists and the subjects of elaborate interpretation projects. This volume will outline the process and results of developing the WWII Maritime Heritage Trail: Battle of Saipan Project. This book will provide examples of how a group of archaeologists, managers and a community took a specific battle and transformed it from a collection of unknown archaeological sites into a comprehensive storied battlescape that reflects the individuals and actions of those who were involved. It will provide an in-depth view of current maritime archaeological research on submerged battlefield sites, the development of a WWII battlefield maritime heritage trail, as well as the problems and solutions of such an effort. It will cover subjects such as: -heritage and dark tourism-conflict or battlefield archaeology-public interpretation, and community engagement. This volume will serve as a practical review of a project influenced by a range of complementary areas of study and inclusive of many stakeholders, from the public to the professional and beyond. It provides an example of a balanced approach towards research and interpreting archaeological sites through the identification and inclusion of the various stakeholders (professional and community) and an awareness of what was being included, ignored, or inadequately represented in the research and interpretation.
