CovED Talks: NAS Weekly Webcast

To make the best out of the challenging times in 2020, the Nautical Archaeology Society created a series of free online lunchtime talks  which ran from the 31st March until 11th August 2020.

Inspired by the popular TEDtalks, our #CovEDTalk series aimed to promote #SelfEducation during #SelfIsolation. The talks were stand-alone half-hour presentations on Tuesday lunchtimes. 

Our line up included a range of speakers on topics related to underwater archaeology, maritime heritage, foreshore archaeology – anything wet and old and interesting! 

If you enjoyed the #CovEDTalk Series and wish to donate to support the NAS you can do so via the link below or you can text NAUTICAL5 to 70085 to donate £5. This text will cost you £5, plus a standard network rate message. Thank you.

11th August 2020 - Our Final #CovEDTalk

The 20th and final talk in the #CovEDTalk series was titled "Shipwreck Archaeology in Argentine Patagonia: Helicopters, quad-bikes and horses" and was given by Dr Chris Underwood from the National Institute of Anthropology - Buenos Aires.

The presentation will introduce the work of the underwater - coastal heritage research team based in the National Institute of Anthropology - Buenos Aires - Argentina. It will feature the survey and excavation of HMS Swift 1770 and the coastal survey of Peninsula Mitre, Tierra del Fuego, which includes the wreck of the Duchess of Albany that ran aground in 1893 and the search for the Purisima Concepcion lost in 1765.  

----------

4th August 2020

The 19th talk in the #CovEDTalk series titled "Interpreting a Wreck: Sharing the Science" was given by Eileen Clegg from the National  Museum of the Royal Navy.  

----------

28th July 2020

The 18th talk in the #CovEDTalk series titled "From frontier post to Hellenistic city: underwater archaeology and the port of Thonis-Heracleion" was given by Dr Damian Robinson, Director, Oxford Centre for Maritime Archaeology, Associate Professor of Maritime Archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology, University of Oxford. 

Today submerged off the Mediterranean coast of Egypt, the port of Thonis-Heracleion is the site of an extensive research programme by the Institut Européen d’Archéologie Sous-Marine and Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities. In this talk, the objects from the excavations will be used to help reconstruct its rise and fall as the most important trading emporium in Egypt during the first millennium BCE. In official documents Egyptian Thonis became Greek Heracleion, but this was no simple transformation. Instead, the material culture reveals the transition from using Greek imported goods in explicitly Egyptian ways, through adopting and counterfeiting foreign goods and ideas, to finally creating hybrid objects combining both Egyptian and Greek elements in a distinctly Egypto-Hellenistic port city.

----------

21st July 2020

The 17th talk in the #CovEDTalk series titled "A Mile in My Fins: Women in Maritime Disciplines" was given by Deb Shefi, Maddy McAllister, Toni Massey, Wendy van Duivenvoorde and Emily Jateff, from WoMAST (Women of Maritime Arts, Science and Technology) on the 21st July 2020 at 12:30 (London). 

Conversations regarding diversity and inclusivity across maritime disciplines have been on the rise for decades, but often remained discipline specific. Women of Maritime Arts, Science and Technology (WoMAST) saw the importance of creating a centralised space for maritime disciplines to come together to combat inequality and inspire, enrich, empower and encourage one another. Through social media and other virtual platforms, WoMAST has created a space for networking, development, guidance and inclusivity for women and those who identify as women engaged in various maritime disciplines. Learn about what’s happening and how you can activate this space in your community. #FinsUp!

The first all-aluminium high winged monoplane used by the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm, no surviving examples of this aircraft exist. The ongoing research into the aircraft and archives has identified several inconsistencies, leading to questions about the identity of the aircraft, the records around its loss, and wartime production contingencies across different aircraft manufacturers.
