商品簡介
A second volume of scientific and archaeological papers tout the advantages of commercial archaeology in investigating shipwrecks and returning artifacts to scientific and commercial circulation. The first chapter is an expansion of conference papers and round-tale discussions presented at the February 2010 Underwater Intervention conference in New Orleans debating the ethics of commercial archaeology. Other topics include virtual collections and private curators as a model for the museum of the future, a conservation report on a bronze cannon from the Balchin's Victory, the art and archeology of privateering, and deep-sea archaeology and U-boat loss reassessments. Four papers also continue the investigation of the 19th-century Jacksonville "Blue China" shipwreck off the coast of Florida that began in the first volume. Many, colorful, high-quality photographs are included. There is no index. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
