This paper will set out the context for Historic England’s maritime archaeological activities and explain the wide portfolio of our work, from geophysical interpretation to oceanic climate change. It will identify our stakeholders and address the range of the resource, discuss strategic priorities and explain some innovative methodologies used for investigation. The paper will also draw on recent work seeking to understand the social and economic benefits of our maritime past.
A special Scientific Conference and Commemorative Event on Underwater Cultural Heritage from World War I was organized by UNESCO, with support from the Government of Flanders (Belgium), from 26 to 28 June 2014 in the Bruges Courthouse, on the occasion of the Centenary of World War I. The event included a two-day scientific conference and a commemorative event.
This publication presents the results of the UNESCO Scientific Conference as well as the papers presented in it. It is a reference publication on the status and importance of the underwater cultural heritage from World War I to nowadays societies, and why it needs to be preserved for future generations.
The book focuses on how, in different contexts, heritage can be a catalyst and target of conflict, an obstacle to stabilisation, and a driver of peace-building. It documents the changing role of heritage – in terms of both exploitation and protection – in various military capabilities, theatres, and operations. With particular concern for the areas of subthreshold and hybrid warfare, stabilisation, cultural relationships, human security, and disaster response, the volume reviews the historical relationship between heritage and armed conflict, including the roles of embedded archaeologists, safeguarding of ethics, and dislodgement and destruction of material culture. Various chapters in the book also demonstrate the value of understanding how state and non-state actors exploit cultural heritage across different defence postures and within both subthreshold and proxy warfare in order to achieve military, political, economic, and diplomatic advantages.
This book will be of interest to students of defence studies, heritage studies, anthropology and security studies in general, as well as military practitioners.
