“…The persistence of port activity in one place over time provides archaeological bases that are grounds for granting a patrimonial character to that port. In this sense, several authors have explored the archaeological value of existing ports [37], [38]. Ports are able to store singular elements and structures, such as old buildings, lighthouses or cranes, as well as, signs of different materials and periods.…”

Culture and heritage are relevant elements in the marinas’ landscape, and they could be competitive advantages in the management of these maritime facilities. This paper explores the marinas’ cultural heritage and cultural landscape, and it attempts to deep into the relationship between them. The identification and evaluation of these elements represents a main stage. It is also proposed three relationship models, ranging from integration, to strengthen and evolution, which enhance the image of the marina and its environment.

“…Nevett (1999: 166), for example, makes the important point that the whole settlement of Delos was principally a trading centre and as such domestic structures were also places of work since business transactions and other activities would often have been conducted at home. Parker's (1999Parker's ( , 2001) study of medieval ports refers to the idea of the 'portuary landscape' where elite merchants actively sought to form a very visible and significant element of port settlements with their houses and through funding events and displays. They not only advertised their business but emphasised their wealth and power.…”

“…These global themes, however, have not always had much impact on the range of questions asked from the archaeological remains of ports and harbours or the theoretical perspectives of interpretation (cf. Parker 1999Parker , 2001); instead, though this is now changing, it could be argued that technological and economic themes have tended to dominate methodologies and interpretations. Archaeology, as a discipline, however, is well positioned to explore a range of interpretative perspectives and nuances through the study of the structural remains themselves, their use and how they were experienced and the material culture from the sites.…”

Social Archaeological Approaches in Port and Harbour Studies

This introductory article to the special issue of the Journal of Maritime Archaeology offers a comparative perspective on the theme of archaeological theory and social archaeological approaches to ports and harbours. As a specialist in Roman archaeology I was keen to explore the way in which specialists in other areas of archaeology approached the archaeology of ports and harbours and whether different approaches and perspectives may be able to add nuances to the way in which material is interpreted. The volume brings together a collection of exciting new studies which explore social themes in port and harbour studies with the intention to encourage debate and the use of new interpretative perspectives. This article examines a number of interpretative themes including those relating to architectural analyse, human behaviour, action and experience and artefact analysis. These themes help us to move towards a more theoretically informed ports and harbour archaeology which focuses on meaning as well as description. The emphasis on theory within archaeology allows us to be more ambitious in our interpretative frameworks including in Roman archaeology which has not tended to embrace the theoretical aspects of the archaeological discipline with as much enthusiasm as some other areas of archaeology.

“…In a seminal article in this journal, Westerdahl (1992) introduced the concept of the maritime cultural landscape and called for development of this theoretical perspective. Nautical archaeologists have responded with studies of various features of maritime cultural landscapes (for example Bannerman and Jones, 1999), as well as reports on the cultural landscapes of particular regions (Parker, 1999; Breen, 2001; McErlean et al , 2002; Vrana and Vander Stoep, 2003). The maritime cultural landscape approach is proving beneficial to nautical archaeology because it can be used to examine all aspects of maritime culture, both aboard ship and ashore.…”

Gravestones and Monuments in the Maritime Cultural Landscape: Research Potential and Preliminary Interpretations

Thousands of memorials around the world commemorate maritime disasters and death. In addition to commemoration, memorials provide insight into the conceptual landscape of maritime peoples. Types of maritime memorials, locations where they can be found, and the limitations of memorials as archaeological artefacts are discussed. Data from 18th-and 19th-century English and American maritime memorials are used to make preliminary interpretations regarding Anglo-American maritime beliefs. Based on this I argue that memorials are a valuable source of data for maritime cultural landscape studies, particularly for what they reveal about maritime belief systems.
