The Contribution of Digital Recording in the Research, Conservation and Display of Archaeological Ships

Evren Türkmenoğlu

Recording techniques play a vital role in boat and ship archaeology, enabling the understanding of complex hull shapes. Accurate data capture from rotten, waterlogged timbers requires considerable time, effort, and expertise. The recording process impacts research quality, as well as conservation practices and museum displays of archaeological ships. Over time, ship recording techniques have evolved, with advancements in systematic excavations from analogue to digital methods. Contact digitizers, scanning technologies, combined with advanced software, provide a better and faster understanding of construction features. They also facilitate the manipulation, control, fairing, and reconstruction of the partial ship remains, bringing them close to their original shapes. Additionally, conservators utilize digital technologies to monitor structural changes both during the conservation procedure and at museum displays for long-term preservation. This chapter aims to reveal how digital approaches have enriched the knowledge gathered from boat and ship remains and contribute to conservation efforts and the maintenance of archaeological ships displayed in museums.
