    BUREAUONDERZOEK ARCHEOLOGIE HKWB Zaak Datum/ uitvoerder/ Resultaten IDnummer Type onderzoek archeologische begeleiding. Er geldt een hoge verwachting op resten uit de Late Middeleeuwen tot de Nieuwe tijd (Brattinga 2016). 2008/ ArcheoPro/ Booronderzoek bij het Neeltje Snijdershof te Wijk aan Zee gemeente 2188931100 Booronderzoek Beverwijk, geen rapport beschikbaar in Archis en DANS. Op basis van het bureauonderzoek is vastgesteld dat voor het plangebied een hoge archeologische verwachting gold voor vindplaatsen (archeologische resten) uit zowel de periode Bronstijd t/m Vroege Middeleeuwen als de Late Middeleeuwen (-Nieuwe tijd). Aan de hand 2011/ RAAP/ van de resultaten van het veldonderzoek is echter geconcludeerd dat de 2331433100 Bureauonderzoek en hoge archeologische verwachting voor vindplaatsen uit de periode booronderzoek Bronstijd t/m Vroege Middeleeuwen kan worden bijgesteld naar middelhoog. De archeologische verwachting voor vindplaatsen (archeologisch relevante sporen) uit de Late Middeleeuwen (-Nieuwe tijd) blijft hoog (Nales 2011). Zie boven. Tijdens de begeleiding is er één werkput aangelegd van 61 x 7 m (427 m²) op de Dorpsweide direct ten zuiden van de Verlengde Voorstraat. In het zuidelijke deel van dit vlak is een aantal grondsporen 2013/ RAAP/ aangetroffen. Omdat deze sporen werden bedreigd door de aanleg van 2361655100 Archeologische de leiding, zijn deze gedocumenteerd (getekend, beschreven, begeleiding gecoupeerd en afgewerkt). De sporen liggen aansluitend aan en lijken verband te houden met de reeds bekende vindplaats uit de Nieuwe tijd, ten zuiden van het plangebied. Gezien de ligging aan de kust is de vindplaats als vissersnederzetting geïnterpreteerd (Ilson 2013). Op de onderzoekslocatie wordt een infiltratiesysteem gerealiseerd. De ingreep in de bodem zal grotendeels reiken tot ongeveer 2 meter beneden het maaiveld, maar plaatselijk tot 3 meter diepte.

  • He Ex-German U-Boat Ub-88: an Archaeological Resource from a World War I Naval Battlefield
    CALIFORNIA’S “AQUATIC ASSASSIN” – THE EX-GERMAN U-BOAT UB-88: AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCE FROM A WORLD WAR I NAVAL BATTLEFIELD JEFFREY R. DELSESCAUX CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, DISTRICT 10 Resting off Los Angeles Harbor in southern California’s San Pedro Bay is a unique remnant of a World War I naval battlefield. The ex-German U-boat UB-88 participated in what has been described as the “First Battle of the Atlantic.” Surrendered at the end of the war, the UB-88 was acquired by the U.S. Navy in 1919 and sunk as a target in 1921 after being dismantled. This article discusses the historical contexts of the UB-88 and summarizes the latest archaeological investigation of the site and what can be learned from an archaeological resource from a World War I naval battlefield. The ex-German submarine UB-88 is approximately 12 km (7.5 mi) south of the entrance to Los Angeles Harbor in 58 m (190 ft) of salt water in San Pedro Bay, California (Figure 1). The UB-88 was a submarine in the Imperial German Navy during World War I and was sunk after the war as a target on the afternoon of January 3, 1921, from gunfire from the destroyer USS Wickes (DD-75), commanded by Commander William Halsey (who would later become Fleet Admiral of the United States William “Bull” Halsey). In July 2003, the UB-88 was relocated by local shipwreck enthusiast Gary Fabian. Fabian used publicly available multibeam sonar data from the United States Geological Survey’s (USGS) Pacific Seafloor Mapping project to identify the wreck.

  • Chapter 7 Forecasting and World War II the Influence of Weather on Warfare Is Indeed Very Strong
    Chapter 7 Forecasting and World War II The influence of weather on warfare is indeed very strong. The original Kamikaze (Divine Wind) was a typhoon which in 1281 destroyed the Mongol fleet that was attempting to invade Japan. In Elizabethan times attempts by the Spanish Armada to land forces in Ireland were thwarted by bad weather. Something similar happened just over two hundred years later. John Tyrell in the inappropriately titled Weather and Warfare gives a fascinating account of the way in which the weather during 1798 thwarted the activities of the Irish rebels and their French supporters. Weather can also be used to military advantage and Napoleon's strategy at the battle of Austerlitz in 1805 is a classic example of this (even if the Russian winter eventually started his downfall). As mentioned in Chapter 5 the Germans, in setting up a meteorological institute at the University of Leipzig in 1912 were aware of the importance that weather would be likely to have in the forthcoming war. Lessons were learnt, and this point was certainly not lost on the authorities in Britain as it prepared for World War II. The Battle of Britain or the Battle of the Atlantic may be acknowledged as pivotal events in this conflict, but, as will be shown in this chapter, the 'Weather War' was probably of equivalent importance, even if this is not generally recognised outside military circles. In order to support this opinion, I will start with the British preparations for a commitment to having a meteorological monopoly over the major theatre of war, namely the Atlantic.

  • The MS Wilhelm Gustloff in German Memory Culture
    The M.S. Wilhelm Gustloff in German Memory Culture: A Case Study on Competing Discourses A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of German Studies of the College of Arts and Sciences by Michael Joseph Ennis B.A. Xavier University, May 2002 M.A. University of Kentucky, December 2005 Committee Chair: Richard E. Schade, Ph.D. Abstract The sinking of the German M.S. Wilhelm Gustloff in the Bay of Danzig on January 30, 1945 is by many accounts the deadliest maritime disaster in recorded history. Although the ship was a valid military target within the context of World War II, most of the passengers were German civilians fleeing the Soviet advance. For many years, the survivors and their advocates argued that a focus on National Socialism and the Holocaust had complicated and politicized any attempts at publicly remembering and mourning the Gustloff in Germany. Recently, however, the ship has received increased attention in German high and popular culture, leading many to claim that a taboo has been broken. The dissertation investigates the shifts in textual and audio-visual representation of the Gustloff from the time of its sinking to the present in an attempt to locate and understand this cultural phenomenon within the greater context of a society perpetually coming to terms with its dark past. i © Michael Joseph Ennis, 2014 All Rights Reserved ii In memory of the victims of the Wilhelm Gustloff, Christa Wolf (1929-2011) and Heinz Schön (1926-2013), and my father (1939-2013).
