SPAFA Journa 1992-2-2 MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES FOR SOUTHEAST ASIAN MARITIME ARCHAEOLOGY BY WILFREDO P. RONQU1LLO The maritime archaeological heritage of the Southeast Asian region is rich and unparalleled. The Southeast Asian territorial waters have served as the passageways for maritime trade, commerce and population movements in the region. For such a vast area the distribution of artifacts found in underwater archaeological context have been sparse and distributed widely through time but adequately delineate the area's phenomenal cultural past. Former land archaeological sites situated in the region's continental shelves dating to the Pleistocene Period are now presently inundated by water. In more recent times numerous Southeast Asian as well as foreign boats, water vessels and other large ships which sailed the Southeast Asian seas and waterways sank and floundered in the region's waters. Hundreds of junks, sunken galleons and other trading vessels are believed to lie under Southeast Asia's territorial waters. 1 0 SPAFA JOURNAL VOLUME TWO NUMBER TWO Succeeding frequent use of the propose and present management The general policies of the majority region's seas and other waterways by objectives for maritime archaeology of the member-states of Southeast the indigenous population as well as for the Southeast Asian region.

  • Ming Dynasty Porcelain Introducing the World’S Most Unique Ming Porcelain Discovery
    Investment Opportunity Document Captain Michael Hatcher Treasure Salvage Professional ming dynasty porcelain Introducing the world’s most unique ming porcelain discovery “This discovery consists of one of the largest amount of Ming porcelain that I have ever seen or has been discovered previously to date on record making this one of the richest wrecks ever found and definitely the biggest Ming cargo found.” - Capt Michael Hatcher ming dynasty porcelain Introducing the world’s most unique ming porcelain discovery a unique discovery A letter from Captain Michael Hatcher, June 2009. To our interested investors, Over the last eight months we have been searching in the Java Sea for a sunken wreck. Fisherman have been catching their nets on it for the last year or two and occasionally recovering Ming porcelain that were caught in the nets. We recently managed to get a GPS position on the wreck and went out on one of the fishing boats to personally dive and inspect the wreck and the cargo. This discovery consists of one of the largest amount of Ming porcelain that I have ever seen or has been discovered previously to date on record. The length of the wreck is approx 58 metres long by 28 metres wide and the porcelain is up to 8 metres high. In my estimation this find consists approximately of over a million pieces of porcelain. Along with my Indonesian partners we have officially secured the wreck with a 3 mile exclusive zone around it at present. The wreck is well guarded by my employees and Navy personnel and we currently have our survey vessel out finishing the survey.

Diving tools development makes an access to deeper part of sea accessible . This access not only used by researcher and archeology but also by treasure hunter and historical shipwrecks treasure seekers . These events lead the interested party to explore the sea for valuable things . One of them is historic shipwrecks which contain historical, archaeological or economic value. The significance of this historic shipwrecks leads to an issue about ownership . The ownership claims of historical shipwrecks tis starting to become a global issue after the occurrence of jurisdiction clash among the Flag-state country, Finder, Coastal state, or state origin of the cargo . Therefore, it is important to understand the issue further by exploring the conception on regulation of historic shipwrecks at international level through international convention, at national level through its regulation and practice in several countries and also the regulation and practice in Indonesia . Keywords: historic shipwrecks, underwater cultural heritage, ownership, flag state, coastal state . I. INTRODUCTION International concern regarding cultural heritage especially under- water cultural heritage in the passing century begin to develop. It is estimated around 3 million shipwrecks lie under the water which con- tain of gold coins, vase and other valuable things in it.1 It is proven by the finding of The Mary Rose Shipwrecks, R.M.S.

Since the year 2005, Malaysian government has discouraged constructing new purposely built museums in favour of refurbishing historic and old buildings to function as adaptive reused museums. Commonly due to insufficient ventilation, fully mechanically ventilated museums can pose critical indoor environmental issues that may lead to health hazards and risks among employees and visitors. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine the potential risk factors within the museums based on indoor environmental criteria. This potential risk factors are resulted from the ‘Potential Risk Categories’, which have been developed by adopting the established Hazard Identification, Risks Assessment and Risk Control (HIRARC) Method. Based on the assessment of four main indoor environmental criteria in the Potential Risk Categories, it was discovered that 8 out of 24 museums are in the range of medium potential risk, while the rest of them are in the range of low potential risk.

(December 2005) Lois Ann Swanick, B.A.; B.A., University of Alaska Anchorage Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. C. Wayne Smith During the Age of Exploration, navigation evolved from a field filled with superstition into a modern science in Portugal, Spain, and England. The most common navigation instruments utilized and their subsequent innovations are discussed. The refinement of these instruments led to increased accuracy in cartography, safer shipping, and increased trade globally in the period. In order to have the most comprehensive collection of navigation instruments, I investigated 165 shipwrecks dated between 1500 and 1700. Each of these vessels have been located, surveyed, and/or excavated in whole or in part. A comprehensive list of these vessels, compiled for the first time, has been included.

Its objective is to encourage the interdisciplinary and comparative study of Asia and to promote (inter)national cooperation. IIAS focuses on the humanities and social sciences and on their interaction with other sciences. It stimulates scholarship on Asia and is instrumental in forging research networks among Asia Scholars. Its main research interests are reflected in the three book series published with Amsterdam University Press: Global Asia, Asian Heritages and Asian Cities. IIAS acts as an international mediator, bringing together various parties in Asia and other parts of the world. The Institute works as a clearinghouse of knowledge and information. This entails activities such as providing information services, the construction and support of international networks and cooperative projects, and the organization of seminars and conferences. In this way, IIAS functions as a window on Europe for non-European scholars and contributes to the cultural rapprochement between Europe and Asia. IIAS Publications Officer: Paul van der Velde IIAS Assistant Publications Officer: Mary Lynn van Dijk Asian Heritages The Asian Heritages series explores the notions of heritage as they have evolved from European based concepts, mainly associated with architecture and monumental archaeology, to incorporate a broader diversity of cultural forms and value. This includes a critical exploration of the politics of heritage and its categories, such as the contested distinction ‘tangible’ and ‘intangible’ heritages; the analysis of the conflicts triggered by competing agendas and interests in the heritage field; and the productive assessment of management measures in the context of Asia.

  • The Development of Sustainable Cultural Heritage Tourism in Malaysia: Implication for Planning and Management Hamimi Omar Doctor
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE CULTURAL HERITAGE TOURISM IN MALAYSIA: IMPLICATION FOR PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT HAMIMI OMAR DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY MAY 2013 The Development of Sustainable Cultural Heritage Tourism in Malaysia: Implication for Planning and Management by Hamimi Omar BBA, Western Michigan University MSc. Tourism Management, University of Strathclyde A thesis submitted to the Newcastle University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy International Centre for Cultural and Heritage Studies (ICCHS) May 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the development of cultural heritage tourism in Malaysia, and questions if this tourism development has been managed in a sustainable manner. Recent national tourism policies in Malaysia increasingly have been aimed towards promoting cultural heritage tourism, signifying that cultural heritage tourism could be potentially one of the most important areas in the growth of the country’s tourism industry. While tourism development has contributed to the country’s economic growth, for cultural heritage, the thrust of the tourism industry is to make the most of the country’s non-renewable resources. This thesis identifies three key objectives required for creating sustainable tourism development in Malaysia: meeting the needs of local communities, satisfying the demands of a growing number of tourists, and safeguarding the remaining natural and cultural resources. Knowledge leading to improvements in the development of cultural heritage tourism is important, as knowledge is a primary means of strengthening its positive aspects and simultaneously mitigating its negative aspects, so that development can maintain a long-term viability. This study also explores some of the key management issues relating to the development of cultural heritage tourism at both Federal and State levels.
