Desde la puesta en marcha en el año 1995 de un proyecto para la informatización de los yacimientos arqueológicos de Andalucía (IYAA) como una propuesta de colaboración entre IAPH y el Ser vicio de Protección de la Dirección General de Bienes Culturales, se fue incluyendo de forma paralela el Análisis del Riesgo Antrópico de los Yacimientos Subacuáticos de Andalucía. Como resultado de este proyecto se plantea volcar la documentación ya elaborada en una Carta de Riesgo entendida ésta como el conjunto de información referente a distintos factores físico-naturales, atmosféricos y humanos o antrópicos, que interrelacionados proporcionan datos suficientes para poder determinar qué bienes culturales y en qué medidas están expuestos a afección, deterioro o destrucción. Del análisis de los parámetros elegidos se pueden extraer conclusiones que faciliten una gestión optimizada del patrimonio, pudiéndose llevar a cabo labores de protección mediante revisiones periódicas y previendo incluso los posibles riesgos mediante intervenciones anticipadas.
The 74-gun French ship Fougueux (1785-1805) belonged to the Spanish-French fleet that faced the British in the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805. This warship was lost off the coast of Sancti Petri after the battle. About two centuries later, an array of iron cannons and wooden remains were studied at this site by the Underwater Archaeology Centre of Andalusia. This paper presents the results of the analysis of the ship's construction method, whose particularities place it within the tradition of French naval construction between the late 18 th century and early 19 th century.
The Underwater Archaeology Centre of Andalusia opened in 1997 due to the need to correctly manage and preserve the underwater archaeological heritage of Andalusia; the main goal set was protection. Aware that the protection of this heritage necessarily involved global knowledge thereof, the Centre decided to focus its efforts on executing a core project – an archaeological map – a tool that would enable the establishment of specific protection and preservation mechanisms and the design of research strategies. The results obtained from this project have enabled the achievement in recent years of some of the goals set, notably guaranteeing the legal protection of these space, and drawing up projects with specific research targets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
