M.A.R.E Organising Committee

Book Launch: “Maritime Archaeology Research Exchange (M.A.R.E.) Papers from the 2021–2023 online lecture series”

Abstract:

To make the #MAREMonday Online Lecture Series more tangible, the organising committee decided to publish the proceedings of the project in form of a book. BAR Publishing, a prestigious publishing house, took on the project and now we can proudly present the volume: “Maritime Archaeology Research Exchange (M.A.R.E.) Papers from the 2021–2023 online lecture series”. Here, eight astonishing articles from the first three years of the online lecture series were collected. Covering a wide temporal and geographical range—from the Bronze Age to the Modern era and across the entire Mediterranean region, from the Pillars of Hercules to Alexandria, with a detour to the Black Sea. This volume is a comprehensive display of different methodological approaches, interdisciplinary work and various aspects of maritime archaeology research.

In this lecture, the editors will offer an inside look at the journey behind the publication— from the initial idea and the gathering of contributions to the challenges, developments, and successes that ultimately shaped the final book. In addition, several authors will introduce the research behind their chapters, providing an exclusive glimpse into the projects that give this volume its depth and character.
