Research, teaching, protection of maritime heritage
Call for Papers IPR XXX
IPR XXX has set itself the goal of building bridges between nautical and limnic archaeology in the Mediterranean region and its inland waters on the one hand and the visual sciences on the other, from early history to late antiquity.
At the same time, the acute interest of research in the various aspects of maritime and fluvial transport should be taken into account.
The focus will be on three main topics:
1. ancient depictions of ships or shipping, pictorial works on ships and ship models
2. the transport of artefacts, as illuminated above all by wreck finds (e.g. Mahdia/Tunisia and Antikythera/Greece)
3. (Digital) images and reconstructions of pre-modern ships, shipping routes and transport logistics.
The latest issue of our journal SKYLLIS contains an article by Ansgar Bovet based on his presentation at a meeting on underwater cultural heritage organised by UNESCO in cooperation with the Spanish Ministry of Culture in Madrid in June 2024.
"It's a long way to ratifying!" (p. 4 - 6).
DEGWUA, the only German NGO on this topic, had been invited to the meeting to present its own view to international participants as to why Germany has not yet signed the UNESCO Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage even after 15 years, although it has always intended to do so.
