“…In addition to this material being used in carpentry, it was also used in new watercraft and as fuel (Litwin, 1995: 44;Ossowski, 2010: 121, 156, 171;Reszka, 2012: 130;Pogodziński, 2016;. Similar situations have also been noted in other parts of Europe (Marsden, 1994: 11, 153-4;Goodburn and Thomas, 1997;Ford, 2013) The available data reveals two areas in which such objects occurred. The first is in northern Polanda strip of the Baltic coast where boatbuilding material obtained from wrecks was used (Filipowiak, 2014).…”

“…It happens that we can identify fragments of old boats that have been reused in architecture, in a completely new functional context (for example, see a fragment of a seventeenth-century painting from the Netherlands, Figure 1). So far, reused material from vessels has most frequently been identified in harbour quay structures, floors, pavements, latrines, and much less frequently in traditional vernacular architecture (Marsden, 1994: 11, 153–4; Goodburn and Thomas, 1997; Ford, 2013; Pogodziński, 2016; 2019). They represent a few, but extremely important traces of the old heritage and pragmatic behaviour of local communities, tending to use many times the earlier used items and materials, which resulted from frugality but also respect for possessed things (Strasser, 2013: 517–18).…”

Traces of disappearing heritage: upcycling of wooden vessels preserved in the vernacular architecture of a large river valley in Central Europe

2022

The article presents a trend in rural and small-town architecture, in central Poland, consisting in the reuse of material from river-going vessels. As part of the research, twenty objects (existing and non-extant) were identified that had been constructed using material from wooden vessels that had navigated the Vistula River in the past (nineteenth and twentieth centuries). There was also a reinterpretation of the origin of construction material from a farm building that had been moved in the 1980s from near the Vistula to one of Polish open-air museums. The results indicate that these are probably the last material traces of a boat mill that operated on the Vistula in the late nineteenth century. Also, many preserved millstones embedded in buildings located near the Vistula seem to confirm this conclusion.

“…Boats, in particular, show signs of an extended life, and their presence in watery locations also enhances their preservation potential. They provide indicators of reuse or recycling when they, or their disarticulated parts, are observed 'out of Goodburn & Thomas, 1997) or sometimes where whole vessels or parts of vessels are repurposed (e.g. Ford, 2013).…”

Life beyond life: Repair, reuse, and recycle—the many lives of wooden objects and the mutability of trees

An invitation by the editorial team of this special edition is the genesis of this paper. It considers how actions such repair, reuse, adaption, and recycling are identified, and understood, with respect to wooden things found in the archaeological record. An exhaustive review is not possible in a paper of this size, so instead a range of examples, across time and space, are selected to discuss these themes and to act as a catalyst for further thought. Woodland, and its entangled relationships with people, inevitably provides a background rhythm, allowing for a reflection on how we consider trees, their mutability, and the many lives of wooden things.

“…Ideally, treatment will not amplify some possible shrinking or swelling that could be expected when invasively dealing with an object. This is most certainly true for objects with interlocking parts where possible tensions towards different directions could build up during treatment, particularly when not all parts are degraded to the same level (e.g., either repairs made whilst the object was in use [44], or later repairs). Concern rises for objects that are not in a strong enough state to be dismantled and treated separately, or when it is rather doubtful if the separated pieces will match well after treatment.…”

Forest Wood through the Eyes of a Cultural Conservator

If prehistoric and historical time were placed into the time span of the existence of our universe, then the act of archaeology could be defined as the act of digging up what was only buried yesterday. So, conservation is about preserving a moment that has just become past time, yet significant. It is a moment of human creativity and ingenuity. It is not strange that forest wood has become the material to convey such moments. Forest wood is a living, everlasting source growing without human intervention, within reach, easy to use and shape thinking both great and small. It does not have to be a wooden ship; it can be a mere piece of charcoal. For it is what surrounded humans in the past which archaeologists seek and use to weave human history, and what conservators bring back to context by reviving it. This work presents forest wood as an artefact and its preservation challenges as such. It touches on its natural degradation processes through burial, compromised properties and eventual conservation. Both dry and waterlogged wood are included. The overarching aim of this paper is to pay tribute, preserve and inspire the long-standing, open dialog and fruitful collaboration between cultural conservators and forest and wood scientists.
