A wider audience

The experimental archaeology of ships and shipping continues to build on the success of early reconstructions. Conferences, publications and the internet are bringing the results of these often far-flung projects to a wider audience, breaking language barriers with multi-lingual summaries.

This global communication is producing a network of specialists who share common interests and expertise, and this in turn has led to greater opportunities for learning at teaching centres throughout Europe and further afield.
