Abstract: | We report a collaborative maritime archaeological project in Uruguay, one of several Latin American countries where the subject
is undergoing review in terms of the ways it is practised and managed. Uruguay is typical of many states where there has been
a tension between a heritage-based approach in which the results of investigations are viewed as publicly owned, as opposed
to the profit motive in which commercial and personal gain is the underlying ethic. This project was conceived both as a way
of assisting the Uruguayan Heritage Commission in promoting the former approach as well as advancing a programme of research
into the age of global exploration. This paper sets out the rationale of the initial field season and reflects on subsequent
developments. |
