Reviews

“The book is a worthy collection of real-world applications or implementation of theory.” • Kong F. Cheong, American University

“The strength of this volume is the bringing together of diverse voices from the Asia-Pacific region with a focus on underwater cultural heritage…(it) is a novel and valuable outcome.” • Ross Anderson, Western Australian Museum

Description

Contemporary public discourses about archaeology are routinely characterized by scientific and historical narratives that leave the water blank. This book weaves together voices from across the Asia-Pacific region, revealing maritime archaeology as a labour of love rooted in connection, compassion and community. Contributors from Hawaii to Sri Lanka share how emotion and relationality shape their work with submerged heritage. The collaboration of archaeologists and communities collaborating to preserve maritime cultural heritage is demonstrated throughout, recognizing that wholeness emerges not from uniformity but from the symphony of the distinct voices united by a shared passion for the ocean’s stories.

Jennifer Craig is a Quebecoise, Canadian maritime and underwater archaeologist presently living in the Pacific Island Guahan/Guam, USA. She is a global citizen that grew up along the Yamaska River with training and work experience from archaeologists and curators from many different nations.

Jay Mok is the first woman from Hong Kong to receive formal training in maritime, cognitive and digital archaeology. Since 2019, she has been experimenting with digital humanities approaches, which led to three major university grants to expand interdisciplinary digital cultural heritage projects. She is a member of the Oxford Centre for Maritime Archaeology and the Oxford China Centre.
