The Maritime Activities Of Kalinga Are Well Known. The People Of Kalinga Were Great Seafares And Their Expertise In The Technology Of Ship-Building And Navigation Is Indeed Astonishing. The Book Gives A Comprehensive Account Of The Rich Maritime Tradition Of Kalinga. Besides Describing Its Geographical Location Of Port Towns It Deals With Their Political And Cultural Contacts With Other Overseas Countries, Trade And Communication Patterns, Economic And Currency Trends For The Last Few Centuries. The Book Also Unearthed Some Unknown Ports And Trade Centers Of Kalinga. It Also Focuses On How The Natural Factors Are Responsible For The Decline Of Certain Ports And Trade Centers And At The Same Time Emphasises On The Emergence Of New Ports And Trade Centers. There Was No Decline Of Trade. It Is Held That Trade Was Basically And Exclusively A Private Enterprise Organised By The Merchants And Merchantile Guilds Throughout The Period And Hence Fluctuating Political Fortunes Of The Ruling Families Of Kalinga Did Not Necessarily Affect In The Progress And Retardation Of The Maritime Activities Of Its People. Although Inheritors Of Ancient Seafares Changed Their Profession Over The Time Due To Declines In Trade Contacts Yet The Traditions Are Being Maintained In The Region In Form Of Cultural Festivals.

This open access peer-reviewed volume was inspired by the UNESCO UNITWIN Network for Underwater Archaeology International Workshop held at Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia in November 2016. Content is based on, but not limited to, the work presented at the workshop which was dedicated to 3D recording and interpretation for maritime archaeology. The volume consists of contributions from leading international experts as well as up-and-coming early career researchers from around the globe. The content of the book includes recording and analysis of maritime archaeology through emerging technologies, including both practical and theoretical contributions. Topics include photogrammetric recording, laser scanning, marine geophysical 3D survey techniques, virtual reality, 3D modelling and reconstruction, data integration and Geographic Information Systems. The principal incentive for this publication is the ongoing rapid shift in the methodologies of maritime archaeology within recent years and a marked increase in the use of 3D and digital approaches. This convergence of digital technologies such as underwater photography and photogrammetry, 3D sonar, 3D virtual reality, and 3D printing has highlighted a pressing need for these new methodologies to be considered together, both in terms of defining the state-of-the-art and for consideration of future directions. As a scholarly publication, the audience for the book includes students and researchers, as well as professionals working in various aspects of archaeology, heritage management, education, museums, and public policy. It will be of special interest to those working in the field of coastal cultural resource management and underwater archaeology but will also be of broader interest to anyone interested in archaeology and to those in other disciplines who are now engaging with 3D recording and visualization.

The Cambridge Companion to Historical Archaeology provides an overview of the international field of historical archaeology (c.AD 1500 to the present) through seventeen specially-commissioned essays from leading researchers in the field. The volume explores key themes in historical archaeology including documentary archaeology, the writing of historical archaeology, colonialism, capitalism, industrial archaeology, maritime archaeology, cultural resource management and urban archaeology. Three special sections explore the distinctive contributions of material culture studies, landscape archaeology and the archaeology of buildings and the household. Drawing on case studies from North America, Europe, Australasia, Africa and around the world, the volume captures the breadth and diversity of contemporary historical archaeology, considers archaeology's relationship with history, cultural anthropology and other periods of archaeological study, and provides clear introductions to alternative conceptions of the field. This book is essential reading for anyone studying or researching the material remains of the recent past.
