Description

Christian Ahlstrom (au); Carl Olof Cederlund (fr). In their struggle to create a picture of the past, archaeologists & historians have made very few attempts to join forces. Ahlstrom shows how the knowledge of historians & the methodology of archaeologists can be combined to provide answers to the riddles of the past. The many anonymous historical wrecks of the Baltic Sea raise numerous questions. Ahlstrom shows how physical & written evidence can be combined to provide answers to questions such as: what was this ship, from where did she come, what was her destination, & why was she lost? Explains how to conduct marine archaeological surveys in the Baltic waters, which were once a destination for the ships of many nations, some of which never reached their goal. Illustrations.
