Sewn‐plank vessels have been a pervasive form of ship construction since antiquity. This paper provides an introductory overview of the current state of the field of sewn‐plank studies, with a particular focus on the Indian Ocean. It describes the basic function of sewn‐plank techniques, and then discusses textual references and historical approaches to the topic. The relevant archaeological evidence is reviewed, and prior ethnographic work relating to the topic is outlined. It summarizes numerous experimental sewn‐plank reconstructions that have been undertaken and concludes with a discussion of the current directions of the field and suggestions for the future.

“…Kapal juga merupakan bukti nyata terjadinya penjelajahan laut, sebagai bukti langsung (direct evidence) dalam data arkeologi maritim. Tercatat situs kapal karam tertua di Indonesia adalah perahu Punjulharjo di Rembang (abad ke-7 M) dan Situs Tang Cargo atau juga disebut Belitung Wreck (abad ke-9 M), sebuah kapal Arab yang karam di Perairan Pulau Belitung ketika mengangkut komoditas keramik Tiongkok masa Dinasti Tang (Flecker, 2000;Mochtar, 2016). Perkembangan teknologi pembuatan kapal turut menggambarkan seberapa maju dan andalnya komunitas tertentu di lautan pada masa perniagaan awal yang lebih dimotivasi oleh aspek perdagangan jarak jauh dan hasrat manusia untuk menjelajah lebih jauh.…”

ABSTRAKKepulauan Riau merupakan salah satu pintu gerbang masuknya para pedagang internasional ke Nusantara. Kepulauan ini memiliki sejarah maritim yang panjang, dan aktivitas perdagangan global terekam secara baik di kawasan ini dengan ditemukannya situs-situs arkeologi salah satunya situs kapal karam dan barang komoditasnya. Kapal karam merupakan bukti langsung secara arkeologi untuk merekonstruksi aktivitas pelayaran laut. Dari temuan kapal karam kita dapat mempelajari teknologi struktur kapal itu sendiri, navigasi laut dalam jalur perdagangan, interaksi budaya, serta jenis komoditas yang dipasarkan di Perairan Nusantara secara khusus. Kerajaan-kerajaan Melayu berkembang pesat seiring makin ramainya aktivitas perdagangan di Laut Cina Selatan dan Selat Malaka. Data arkeologi menunjukkan pedagang-pedagang dari India, Arab, Persia, bahkan Eropa telah singgah dan beraktivitas di perairan Kepulauan Riau. Para ahli pun berpendapat bahwa Perairan Laut Cina Selatan hingga Selat Malaka tidak kalah ramainya dengan perairan Mediteranian. Hal ini tergambar pada situs-situs arkeologi bawah air yang berada di Perairan Pulau Natuna dan Pulau Bintan. Kedua pulau ini hingga sekarang memiliki peran yang signifikan bagi aktivitas pelayaran dan perdagangan di Indonesia. Aktivitas perdagangan masa lalu tersaji dengan sangat baik di situs-situs arkeologi bawah air di perairan kedua pulau tersebut. Namun, aktivitas penjarahan juga terus terjadi pada situs-situs arkeologi bawah air sehingga memunculkan diskusi mengenai perlunyadikembangkan model pelestarian yang aman untuk situs arkeologi bawah air di Kepulauan Riau agar masyarakat dapat menerima manfaatnya. ABSTRACTRiau Archipelago is one of the gates for international merchant going into Nusantara waters. This archipelago has a long maritime history, andglobal trade activities were recorded in this area in the sites of shipwreck and its cargos. Shipwrecksarearchaelogical direct evidence to reconstruct the seafaring activities. From shipwrecks we will be able to learnabout the technology of ship structure, ship navigationin the sea trading routes, cultural interaction, and the type of commodities specifically marketed in Nusantara. Malay empireswere growing rapidly corresponding to the increasing trade activities in the South China Sea and Malaka Strait. Archaeological data show that Indian, Arabian, Persian, Chinese and even Europeantraders have visited the Riau Islands for trading. Experts suggested that the waters of the South China Sea to the Malaka Straitwereno less crowded from the mediterranean waters. This is reflected in the underwater archaeological sites located in the waters of Natuna Island and Bintan Island. Both islands played a significant role in shipping and trading activities in the past. Past trading activities were presented very well in underwater archaeological sites of the two islands. However, lootingis also occuringin thesites which triggered discussions on the need to develop asecure preservation model for underwater archaeological sites in Riau Islands for...

“…Comm., February 2015). Although the initial publication state the vessel was stitched (Flecker 2000), the drawings of the wreck's fastenings were indeed sewn (Flecker 2000: 207, Figure 14). Sewn plank construction fastens a plank to another plank with continuous, connected stitches in a crossover X style (see Figure 1).…”

<p>Shipwrecks are valuable archaeological sites that can contribute enormous amounts of information to Social/Natural Sciences and Humanities. This paper discusses how data from shipwreck sites can expand a multidisciplinary database. Their value is highlighted with examples of shipwrecks in Southeast Asia and their contribution to an ongoing database project at McGill University’s Indian Ocean World Center. </p>
