Michael Krivor, M.A., RPA Principal Investigator AUTHORED BY: MICHAEL C. KRIVOR, NICHOLAS J. LINVILLE, DEBRA J. WELLS, JASON M. BURNS, AND PAUL J. SJORDAL APRIL 2010 www.searchinc.com Underwater Archaeological Investigations of the Roosevelt Inlet Shipwreck FINAL REPORT ABSTRACT In the fall of 2004, a dredge struck an eighteenth-century wreck site during beach replenishment, resulting in thousands of artifacts being scattered along the beach in Lewes, Delaware. Local residents informed archaeologists with the Delaware Department of State (State) Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs (Division) about the artifacts, and investigations were undertaken to locate the source of the historic material. Approximately 40,000 artifacts from Lewes Beach were recovered by archaeologists from the Division as well as many private citizens who donated their artifacts to the Delaware Department of State. In consultation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District, a Phase I and Phase II underwater archaeological survey and diver investigation (conducted by Dolan Research, Inc.) of the area confirmed the presence of an eighteenth-century shipwreck site in 2005. Initial estimates conjectured that approximately 80% of the shipwreck remained undisturbed offshore. The wreck site was deemed eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and was placed on the NRHP on November 16, 2006. The State of Delaware subsequently contracted with Southeastern Archaeological Research, Inc. (SEARCH) of Florida, to accomplish a variety of field investigations relative to the Underwater Archaeological Investigation for the Department of State For The Roosevelt Inlet Shipwreck (7S-D-91A), State Contract No. 26-200-03, Federal Aid Project No. ETEA-2006 (10). From September 27 through October 27, 2006 SEARCH conducted a preliminary remote sensing survey, a non-intrusive hydro probe survey, controlled surface collection of artifacts, a controlled excavation of eleven 10-x-10-foot grid squares, and a post-remote sensing survey of the Roosevelt Inlet Shipwreck. The phased investigation conducted by SEARCH, in cooperation with the State, was successful in better defining the nature and elements of the Roosevelt Inlet Shipwreck. Results of the preliminary remote sensing survey, utilizing a magnetometer and side scan sonar, were successful in providing data critical to understanding the condition and extent of the Roosevelt Inlet Shipwreck prior to diver investigations. The side scan sonar survey clearly identified the exposed concretions at the north end of the site, a longitudinal timber extending north/south along the length of the site, and an area of exposed artifacts near the dredge pit at the southern extent of the site. The hydro probe survey and surface collection of artifacts proved extremely beneficial in determining the extent of buried hull remains in a non-intrusive manner. In addition, the surface collection of artifacts helped in gathering data relative to the distribution of artifacts across the entire site. The most interesting result from the hydro probe survey was the overall lack of extant hull structure associated with the Roosevelt Inlet Shipwreck. i Abstract April 2010 Southeastern Archaeological Research, Inc. Partial excavation of the Roosevelt Inlet Shipwreck, utilizing two 10-x-10-foot grid squares, a 3-inch venturi-style dredge, and a variety of measuring devices was successful in mapping extant hull construction features, artifacts, and site remains. Close examination and mapping of the site confirmed that only a small portion of the hull associated with the Roosevelt Inlet Shipwreck remains intact. The post-remote sensing survey, including a side scan sonar integrated with a Differential Global Positioning System, was conducted after the excavation. This survey was useful in providing a visual image of the site, post- excavation. Analysis of the hull remains, artifact assemblage, and material culture of the Roosevelt Inlet Shipwreck offers insight into the research objectives proposed by the State prior to the current investigation. The hull analysis conducted by SEARCH is limited, due to relative lack of hull remains. A review of the substantial artifact assemblage recovered during the current investigation indicates that the vessel grounded in the shallows off Roosevelt Inlet and became stranded sometime between 1772 and 1800. Review of primary and secondary sources have identified 31 vessels wrecked at or near Lewes, Delaware between 1772 and 1800. The hull and artifact analysis have also enabled SEARCH to answer additional questions regarding the wreck site. The Roosevelt Inlet Shipwreck provides an intriguing look into the late-eighteenth century merchant trade. This is evidenced by the broad array of artifacts recovered from the site during the current investigation. The vessel appears to have been an inbound merchant vessel, loaded with cargo bound for Philadelphia. The lack of hull remains indicates that the vessel was likely extensively salvaged and has been exposed to environmental conditions which have affected the vessel’s integrity. It is unfortunate that the Roosevelt Inlet Shipwreck was impacted by dredging activities in 2004. This type of incident can be averted in the future by close review of submerged cultural resource survey reports prior to potentially damaging impacts, such as dredging or marine-related construction activities. To date there are no current survey standards for submerged cultural resource surveys within the State of Delaware. It is recommended the State implement a standard set of guidelines for all submerged cultural resource surveys within State waters. This includes any State waterways that may have been utilized by historic watercraft. The State has a rich maritime past, and its submerged cultural resources, which are finite, should be protected from any future threats that may impact potentially significant submerged cultural resources.

  • 80-93 a Study of Traditional Boats and Navigational History of Odisha, East
    Author version: Man Environ., vol.40(2); 2015; 80-93 A study of Traditional Boats and Navigational History of Odisha, East coast of India Sila Tripati Marine Archaeology Centre CSIR- National Institute of Oceanography Dona Paula, Goa 403 004 Email: [email protected] Abstract It is generally believed that there were seafarers before there were farmers and potters. Man must have used some kind of craft to cross the rivers, seas, bays for collection of food during prehistoric time onwards if not earlier. With regard to the earliest voyages, it is believed that these were made around 60,000 years ago when the sea level was lower and people would have used floats or rafts for the purpose. After many centuries different types of traditional boats were constructed and used for maritime trade, fishing, warfare, etc. Indian epics and regional literature mention different types of vessels and their use and the vessels used in the seas, rivers and lakes are different in their construction, shape and size. Like other littoral states of India, references to a good number of traditional boats of Odisha are found in the contemporary literature namely Pota (dug out), Nauka, Bhela, Chapa and Padhua. There are some traditional boats, for instance teppa, padhua, nauka and patia, which are still in use and built along the Odisha Coast. The present paper details construction techniques of traditional boats of Odisha, their usages, difference between the traditional boats of Odisha and those on other parts of the east coast of India and navigational technology. Keywords: Traditional boats, Navigation, Maritime trade, Odisha, East coast of India 1 Introduction The history of boatbuilding is as old as the relationship between man and the sea.

    UC Berkeley Survey Reports, Survey of California and Other Indian Languages Title The Plank Canoe of Southern California: Not a Polynesian Import, but a Local Innovation Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1977t6ww Author Meroz, Yoram Publication Date 2013 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California The Plank Canoe of Southern California: Not a Polynesian Import, but a Local Innovation YORAM MEROZ By nearly a millennium ago, Polynesians had settled most of the habitable islands of the eastern Pacific, as far east as Easter Island and as far north as Hawai‘i, after journeys of thousands of kilometers across open water. It is reasonable to ask whether Polynesian voyagers traveled thousands of kilometers more and reached the Americas. Despite much research and speculation over the past two centuries, evidence of contact between Polynesia and the Americas is scant. At present, it is generally accepted that Polynesians did reach South America, largely on the basis of the presence of the sweet potato, an American cultivar, in prehistoric East Polynesia. More such evidence would be significant and exciting; however, no other argument for such contact is currently free of uncertainty or controversy.1 In a separate debate, archaeologists and ethnologists have been disputing the rise of the unusually complex society of the Chumash of Southern California. Chumash social complexity was closely associated with the development of the plank-built canoe (Hudson et al. 1978), a unique technological and cultural complex, whose origins remain obscure (Gamble 2002). In a recent series of papers, Terry Jones and Kathryn Klar present what they claim is linguistic, archaeological, and ethnographical evidence for prehistoric contact from Polynesia to the Americas (Jones and Klar 2005, Klar and Jones 2005).

  • Remember Mid-April 1970, America Was Angry
    EAaN rth Day TO Remember mid-April 1970, America was angry. The baby boomers had become cynical, mistrusting In parents, business, industry and Back in 1970, John Stenger government. This generation was especially disdainful of the so-called military-indus - and a band of students came to trial complex that President Dwight Eisenhower had warned about. The Vietnam War dragged on, filling the defense of Cape Henlopen’s the 6 o’clock news with death and destruction, and no end was in sight. The previous month, the Army had imperiled dunes charged 14 officers with suppressing the truth about the horrific My Lai massacre in Vietnam, where as many as 500 essentially unarmed civilians had been murdered by U.S. troops. The hopeful Apollo 13 moon mission had suffered an oxygen tank explosion a few days before, forcing its hasty retreat to Earth. The Cold War with the communist USSR was tense and dispiriting, and Paul McCartney had just announced the breakup of the Beatles. To many Americans, the future seemed dismal and hundreds of thousands had taken to the streets and college cam - puses to protest the nation’s various problems. Among those concerns was the environment. Decades of hellbent-for-leather industrial develop - ment with little regard for the land, oceans and air was taking an ever-greater toll. To a growing number of people, this threat trumped all others: If you can’t breathe the air, can’t eat the food, and can’t drink the water, little else mattered. Scientists and other con - cerned individuals were beginning to sound the alarm, and people were beginning to listen.
