	Maritime Asia
		Maritime Archaeology Malaysia, an exhibition of the historic shipwrecks discovered around Malaysia, opened in November 2001 at Muzium Negara in Kuala Lumpur.
		It has been extended for several years, and there are hopes that it may become the nucleus of a new national maritime museum.
		The chronology provides an overview of Asian maritime trade up to 1700, drawing on historical sources from many countries and new archaeological evidence.

	Maritime archaeology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Maritime archaeology is a discipline that studies human interaction with the sea, lakes and rivers through the study of vessels, shore side facilities, cargoes and human remains.
		Maritime archaeology can be divided in a three-tier hierarchy, of which the first tier consists of the archaeology of shipwrecks and wreck sites.
		The third tier consists of the archaeology of maritime cultures, in which nautical technology, naval warfare, trade and shipboard societies are studied.

	Southampton Archaeology - Research - Firth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The discussion addresses the study of 'maritime societies' as phenomena in the past and in the present and draws upon notions of landscape and of critique, where 'landscape' incorporates the physical and cognitive setting of everyday life, and 'critique' concerns the way in which archaeologists direct their actions and their interpretations in transforming modern society.
		Hence the identification of a society as a 'maritime' society reflects the degree to which the sea shapes each of the four aspects of the society concerned, so the term can be applied with considerable sensitivity to the evident characteristics of the society under consideration.
		In short, maritime archaeology might be described as the use of ancient material in examining whether it is appropriate to apply the term 'maritime' to past societies.

	NOVA Online \| Sultan's Lost Treasure \| Asia's Undersea Archeology
		Although shipwreck archeology is relatively new in Asia, important finds are pointing the way toward the broader use of archeological evidence relative to the documentary history of this era of Chinese maritime expansion.
		The archeology of the Quanzhou ship presents evidence of an oceangoing commercial vessel comparable in size to the largest known European merchant ships of its time, which was engaged in trade of priority goods around the Indian Ocean from East Africa to the southeast coast of China.
		The archeological associations of both the ship's structure and its contents are ambiguous about the conduct of the trade, beyond the general implications of long-distance commerce and about whether the ship followed a coastline route or engaged in true oceanic voyaging.

		However, there is no lack of maritime survey and salvage firms owning a cornucopia of sensitive detection and recording devices who would be glad to rent their services to archeologists.

		The fact that the Association for Great Lakes Maritime History produced an interim report on the excavation of the Millecoquins shipwreck only four months after the first season of field work is a tribute to all who participated in it.

	archaeology of hand tools exhibit at the davistown museum
		The most important tools in the tool kits of the residents of the historical maritime cultures of Maine (1607 - 1865) are woodworking tools, especially those associated with shipbuilding, boat building and construction of mills, buildings and wharfs.
		After 1870, fewer but larger sailing vessels continued to be built in Maine, especially at Bath and at surviving larger shipyards at Thomaston, Waldoboro, Damariscotta and elsewhere, but in the era of railroads and steamships, the small community-sponsored coasters and West Indies traders were fast disappearing.
