WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
This course will provide a theoretical and practical insight to the practice of recording of hulked vernacular vessels abandoned in the inter-tidal zone. The course aims to introduce participants to hulk recording and its practical application in an archaeological context. Through theoretical presentations participants will see how the study of hulked vessels can contribute to the interpretation of the archaeological record.
Through presentations and online practical exercises, participants will learn the key aspects of these vessels to record. They will also learn about avenues of research to help identify these hulks, and methods of disseminating this information will also be covered.
Theoretical sessions will look at why archaeologists record hulked vessels; how archaeologists record hulked vessels; vessel construction and survey techniques; and, how to draw up scaled plans
WHO'S IT FOR?
The course is aimed at individuals undertaking the NAS Training programme, as well as professional archaeologists wanting to increase their knowledge of hulk recording.
NAS members will earn 5 credits for attending
WHAT YOU NEED TO JOIN THE ONLINE COURSE
A computer or tablet (phone screens are a bit small to look at for the whole day) with a good internet connection is essential. A built-in or external webcam and microphone are optional. A week before the course you will receive an invitation to the online course session which will be run through GoToMeeting. This is an online video conferencing programme that can be run directly through the internet or you get better connection if you download the small programme - it only takes a minute to do.
If you are concerned about your computer set up, please contact the organiser at education@nauticalarchaeologysociety.org for a test run before the course.
