International Journal of Nautical Archaeology
Published on behalf of the Nautical Archaeology Society
Edited by:
Paula Martin
The International Journal of Nautical Archaeology covers all aspects of nautical archaeological research. The journal's themes are seas, ships, cargos, and the sailors of the past-subjects that have excited interest throughout history. The journal keeps readers abreast of the latest explorations, discoveries, and technical innovations in the field. Studies about ancient ships, harbours, and cargoes, whether from excavations or documentary sources, will be of interest to the naval architect, historian, and archaeologist. Information on the well-preserved artifacts discovered through techniques of underwater archaeology is especially valuable since these materials are seldom, if ever, found in excavations on land.

Oceans with Dr. Lucy Blue
In June 2007 the Oceans team began a series of underwater scientific expeditions to build a global picture of our seas. Their search for answers took them on an voyage of discovery to the Arctic, Southern and Indian Oceans, the Atlantic, the Red Sea, the Sea of Cortez and the Mediterranean. Their findings are now part of an eight part series on BBC2.
Chair of the Nautical Archaeology Society, Dr. Lucy Blue is part of the team of intrepid adventurers. Read more about the series here.
Underwater Archaeology
Underwater Archaeology: The NAS Guide to Principles and Practice provides a comprehensive summary of the archaeological process as applied in an underwater context.
'This long-awaited update of the NAS handbook is a gold mine of practical advice. It is a must-have, must-read and must-reread for everyone practising nautical archaeology'
George Lambrick, Chair Nautical Archaeology Society
