NAS Publications Home Page
The NAS was established 'to further research in nautical
archaeology and publish the results'. There is no purpose to
documentary research, or archaeological survey or excavation, if
the results are not then put into the public domain. While there
are many ways of disseminating information, such as radio or
television broadcasts, lectures, exhibitions, and web-sites,
print publication is still the most permanent.
The NAS publishes the International
Journal of Nautical Archaeology, a peer-reviewed academic
journal, published twice a year in March and September by
Wiley-Blackwell.
The Society also publishes a quarterly newsletter Nautical
Archaeology which is sent to all its members,
to keep them up to date with what is going on within the Society,
the training courses available, features about projects, and
information about maritime archaeology in the news. The Newsletter is also available to download as a pdf from the Members Area of the website.
The NAS's 'Handbook' Underwater
Archaeology, is now available in a new,
revised and updated edition, edited by Amanda Bowens. A must for
anyone wishing to get involved in a practical way.
The NAS has also begun a series of
NAS
Monographs. The first of these The Sound of Mull Archaeological Project (SOMAP)
1994-2005, (NAS Monograph 1; BAR British Series 453),written
by Philip Robertson, with contributions by Jane Maddocks and
Steve Webster, was published in 2008. The second Monograph, Records of Traditional Watercraft from South and West Sri Lanka, (NAS Monograph 2; BAR International Series1931), by Gerhard Kapitän and prepared for publication by Gerald Grainge in association with Somasiri Devendra was published in 2009.
