OK boaties: is a 'cat head' still a 'cat head' when in the stern? I'm talking about the aft transverse timber in this pic. (The one forward is a through beam). It is for tying off, e.g. a painter/mooring rope or anchor rope. Words! Help! #maritimearchaeology #nauticalarchaeology

Maritime archaeologists/boat nerds: Have you seen cases of wooden hull construction where the keel is the LAST structural element attached-i.e. into a gap for the purpose? Asking seriously. #maritimearchaeology #woodenboat #boatbuilding #nauticalarchaeology #boats #ships @ijna3

Dear @BBC_Saturday, please educate yourselves v. carefully on archaeological ethics before deciding who to invite on your show Maritime archaeologists don't profit, or enable others' profit, from underwater cultural heritage extraction. You have blundered. #maritimearchaeology


“Exemplary” & “extremely tantalising”—P Wilson’s IJNA review of our @ifaocaire book on the island-city site of #Tinnis in #Egypt. I’m lucky to have worked with @GascoigneA, Tariq Husseini, @bt_pennington & al at this amazing site. @IJNA3 @exetermarine @ExeterIAIS @IslamArchExeter
