| Summary: | "For several decades, archives and historical documents have highlighted piracy and its actors during the golden age of piracy between the 1650s and 1730s, often described as the culmination of this phenomenon along the shores of America, the Caribbean or the Indian Ocean. When most of these buccaneers remain virtually unknown, some become true emblematic and historical characters who have marked their era. Their prizes, journeys, feats of arms, alliances, and deaths are recounted by contemporary storytellers and writers... However, the aspects of their daily life on board or on land, the detailed knowledge of their ship, their cargo and treasure, places of landfall and port cities sometimes remain poorly mentioned in the literature, too often far from reality. The archaeology of piracy can be a method to better understand the lifestyle of these outlaw seafarers, former military men or merchants, having been attracted by a more independent life"--ResearchGate: project: Archaeology of Piracy of 17th-18th centuries (Jean Soulat and 7 others). |
