“…The results of investigations carried out at Saint‐Pierre in three of these archaeological areas illustrates another aspect of coastal and maritime research in the Lesser Antilles: the gap between potential remains from the Colonial period (17th–19th centuries) and the reality of the known archaeological remains that are largely dated to the end of the 18th and 19th centuries. The wreck‐sites also follow this pattern and there are few indications of earlier sites, such as the bronze cannon founded in the middle of the 16th century, found near to Loup Garou Islet, Martinique (Guérout and Guillaume, ). Current research has led to an over‐representation of wrecks from the 19th century.…”

This article provides a summary of the various maritime archaeology projects undertaken in the French Antilles (Guadeloupe and Martinique) since the 1980s that date to the 17th–19th century Colonial period. These projects are presented in the context of the principal maritime archaeological research questions. The results are analysed thematically touching on different aspects of archaeological research in littoral and underwater zones: coastal plantations, ports, and micro‐islets. Research carried out on wreck‐sites is presented with respect to their maritime use (commercial, naval, and cabotage). The nature and distribution of such sites provides information both on maritime routes and traffic, trade, conflicts, and environmental risks specific to the Antilles in the Colonial period.

“…Trunnions are visible on all the guns except one on the port side which appears to be broken. These trunnions were located at approximately mid-gun length and below the bore centreline (Caruana, 1994: 2-5;Guérout and Guillaume, 1998). The degraded debris lying beneath many of the guns may be the remains of their carriages.…”

At the Transition from Late Medieval to Early Modern: the Archaeology of Three Wrecks from Turkey

During surveys in the Rhodian Straits in 2005-06, the staff of the RPM Nautical Foundation discovered three deepwater wrecks which reflect elements of the transition from late medieval to early modern seafaring. The assemblages, and their plotting on site-plans generated from photographic evidence, point to the finding of a small oared warship equipped with wrought-iron carriage-and swivel-guns, a small coasting vessel armed with wrought-iron swivel-guns, and a larger merchantman equipped with cast-iron carriage-guns. While the features of the smaller vessels do not identify their country of origin, those of the larger merchantman have good parallels with known English wrecks.
