This volume is a collection of nineteen articles in three sections reporting on recent research on the archaeology of shipwrecks, harbors and maritime landscapes in the Mediterranean region. The shipwrecks section looks at excavated vessels from Mazotos, Modi Island, the port of Rhodes, Naples and Narbonne, as well as a sailing reconstruction of the Ma'agan Mikhael ship. The harbors section includes articles on areas from the Levant to Seville looking at a variety of harbor defense systems and dockyards dating from the Hellenistic period to the 12th century AD. Articles in the third section on maritime cultural landscapes combine data sets to examine human interactions with the sea, navigation from the perspectives of the accounts of early geographers, the skills required by the earliest sailors, and the contextual reconstruction of sea routes, coastal survey and resource use and geoarchaeological evidence used to analyze the choice of harbor location.
