My regional focus is mainly, although not solely, the eastern Mediterranean during its earlier formative period. The cultic use of ships—or their facsimiles—many of which never saw water beneath their hulls, intrigues me. Due to the paucity of actual shipwrecks from the times that most interest me, I have focused on the interpretation of ancient ship iconography. Around the turn of the millennium I became interested in the potential of deep-submergence archaeology.
My recent field projects reflect these interests. In 2002 I directed a paleo-environmental study of three possible Phoenician anchorages in Portugal. In 2003-2006, I directed the Canadian team of a joint Canadian-Greek expedition in search of fleets lost during the Persian War in the early fifth century B.C. and in 2007-2009 I led the Danaos Project, a deep-water survey studying the Crete-to-Egypt trade route in antiquity. Following a long fascination with the culture of Easter Island, in March 2012 I organized the first maritime remote-sensing survey of the crater lake of Rano Raraku and a survey of maritime aspects of the Rapanui Culture, in collaboration with Dr. Jo Anne Van Tilburg’s Easter Island Statue Project. Most recently, under the aegis of the Jaffa Cultural Heritage Project and with the goal of better understanding the maritime dimensions of the port of Jaffa, Israel, I directed The 2014 Ioppa Maritima Project, which combined a geoarchaeological/geophysical land survey together with a deep-water Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) examination of multibeam survey anomalies at depths of 50-250 meters.
My fifth book (2013) deals with a wooden ship-cart model discovered in 1920 by W.M.F. Petrie at Gurob, in middle Egypt. The prototype of the Gurob model was clearly an Aegean-style galley—probably a pentakonter of a type used by both the Mycenaeans and the Sea Peoples. This model is the most detailed known representation of this galley type, for which no actual ships have been discovered. Put simply, if Helen’s face launched a thousand ships, this is the most detailed existent example of that ship type.
My sixth and most recent (2015) book is a short guide to seafaring on the Sea of Galilee in antiquity.edit

In the past six decades since its inception, nautical archaeologists have excavated and studied the hulls, cargoes, and other remains of ancient watercraft. However, shipwrecks themselves only tell part of the story. The archaeological record is replete with examples of known shipwrecks from some cultures and periods, but, for others, no hulls exist in the known archaeological record. Vagaries of preservation generally prevent the upper parts and rigging of a vessel to survive in all but the most remarkable of cases. This paper reviews the role of iconographic representations in understanding ancient vessels and seafaring by presenting the issues, examining the limitations, proposing interpretative methods for, and finally by supplying specific examples of, ancient nautical depictions.

The Greek deity Dionysos had a particular affinity for war
galleys, a relationship perhaps explained by the Homeric Hymn to
Dionysos in which Tyrsenian pirates kidnap him on their galley. Soon
grape vines entangle the rigging and some of the pirates attempt to
escape their fate by jumping into the sea: Dionysos transforms them
into dolphins. This hymn served as an occasional motif in pagan art
and may explain the miniaturized replicas of seagoing oared ships
that played an integral role in the ancient Dionysian cult. These flimsy
Dionysian ship carts moved overland in parades, either on wheels or
upon the shoulders of celebrants. While the earliest examples may date
to the Late Bronze Age, they are best known from a series of three late
Archaic-period representations on black-figure skyphoi, now in museums
in Athens, Bologna and London. No two Archaic-period Dionysian
ship-cart representations are identical in all details. While perhaps due
to painters’ whims, this diversity in appearance may reflect changes to
the ship carts at each annual appearance, analogous to modern-day parade
floats. Due to the two-dimensional nature of these ship-cart images,
it is impossible today to determine whether the Dionysian ship carts
reflected in them consisted of actual vessels—purpose-built and placed
on wagons during the procession, employed solely for the Dionysian
celebrations—or floats in the form of miniaturized galleys. This paper
supplies context and explains the process of creating a three-dimensional
digital reconstruction of a generic Late Archaic-period Dionysian
ship cart employing contemporaneous imagery and artifacts.

Recent excavations of Tel Yafo (Jaffa), Israel, underscore its role as an historically important Mediterranean port. In 2014, the Ioppa Maritima Project conducted a geological investigation determining that from ca. 5000–2000 years BP, a small estuarine system existed east and north of Tel Yafo that could have served as a harbour. The marine reentrant formed through sea-level rise and flooding of a small valley, and the stream mouth was probably also partially blocked by coastal sands. Sediment aggradation, wetland development, and anthropogenic activity largely filled the embayment leaving only a depression east of Tel Yafo in the area of Bloomfield Stadium and Groningen Park.

Under the DANAOS project, investigating the Crete to Egypt route south of Crete, sonar targets were surveyed with manned and unmanned underwater vehicles at depths of 550-650 m. Most targets proved to be small rock outcrops/reefs, some of which were colonised with deep corals and other associated fauna. The corals included Dendrophyllia cornigera and two other unidentified species. Very high numbers and consequently biomass, of shrimp (Plesionika spp.) were found on the reefs as well as a number of fish (Polyprion americanus, Pagellus bogaraveo, Conger conger). The corals are the southerly-most deepwater corals found, although are comparatively less rich than the recorded communities in the Italian Ionian Sea.

Wachsmann, S., 2022. Ahhotep’s Metal Ship Models. In The Treasure of Egyptian Queen Ahhotep and International Relations at the Turn of the Middle Bronze Age (1600-1500 BCE). G. Miniaci and P. Lacovara, eds. Croydon, Golden House Publications: 279-293.
Abstract: Two metal ship models, one made of gold and the other of silver were found in the tomb of Ahhotep (I) together with a compatible four-wheel conveyance. The models remain unusual chronologically as well as in terms of their materials. The gold model represents a typical wood-planked Nilotic watercraft. The silver model appears to replicate a ten-oared Minoan/Cycladic vessel, best compared to the rowed ship in the ship-procession scene portrayed on the Miniature Frieze from the West House in Akrotiri on Thera. Additional support for this hypothesis comes from evidence for a long tradition of metal ship models in the Aegean. The silver model may be a copy of an actual ship or of a model of that type of watercraft. The models, as well as the accompanying carriage, are best explained in the context of Ahhotep’s tomb as booty captured during the attacks and conquest of Avaris (Tell el Dab‘a) by her sons, Kamose and Ahmose. If correct, this interpretation indicates a Minoan presence at Tell el Dab‘a during Hyksos rule. The silver crew that row the gold model, but which are not original to it, presume a third, now lost, larger silver ship model.

Students seeking a future in maritime archaeology require a wide knowledge of techniques, tools and methods used in the field. This seminar aims to introduce students to primary themes and tools in maritime archaeology. It will acquaint participants with remote sensing and mapping, interpreting, recording, and storing data used in maritime archaeological surveys. Students will study the theory pertaining to these topics and will also have opportunities to practice the required skills in exercises. Specifically, this course will familiarize students with the following topics: A) concepts associated with remote sensing, B) basic methodologies for mapping an archaeological site, C) basic software available to map and record an archaeological site, D) fundamental ethical questions and legislation related to the survey and excavation of submerged cultural resources, E) advanced methods of recording artifacts, F) the most common analysis and sciences associated with the interpretation of a submerged site. Topics covered in this course include aspects of maritime cultural resource management and deep-submergence archaeology, as well as relevant technologies pertaining to field work and artifact study such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote-sensing technologies, laws pertaining to maritime cultural resources, documentation tools (Faro Arm and X-ray fluorescence [XRF]) and methods. Some meetings will include practical training in handling equipment and recording archaeological sites, learning specific computer software, and developing a clear vision of the problems associated with underwater survey, excavation and cultural resource management. Students will be required at the end of the course to submit a seminar paper and an essay. During the course students will have the opportunity to interact directly with leaders in the various themes that compose the field of maritime archaeology as well as with experts in the technologies that makes this research possible. ∞∞∞
