Maritime and Coastal Archaeology

The Rio Grande do Sul coast, in southern Brazil, is an extensive sandy barrier shore, nearly 640km long, home of stranded ships representing various periods of navigation in the southwestern Atlantic. This paper presents a report of investigations carried out in two of these shipwreck sites, as part of the Shore Stranded Shipwrecks of Southern Brazil project. The results are discussed in terms of the fieldwork methodology, shipbuilding technology and the possibilities of exploring this archaeological record to address regional research questions
