Title A name given to the resource 2021 Session 14: In the Mind of the Boatbuilder: Asia Pacific studies in Maritime Ethno-archaeology Subject The topic of the resource Session 14 papers Description An account of the resource Abstract The study of contemporary maritime cultures and their materials through first hand observation, maritime ethnography is a ‘relatively’ new tool available to maritime archaeologists. By using ethnographic analogies, archaeologists can propose hypothetical reconstructions of incomplete objects or structures, suggest the possible use of enigmatic structural elements, and describe in detail how the object or structure was made. Ethno-archaeology can provide clues or suggest ways of thinking about past cultures, and serve as a launch pad for retrospective enquiry. Analogous applications of ethnography to archaeology allow us to breach temporal and spatial gaps by using information derived from one context (the present) to help explain data found in another (the past). In keeping with the Conference theme and proposed sub-theme (8), ‘Nautical Technology in Asia-Pacific’, this session is intended to provide a forum for researchers from ethnography, archaeology, anthropology, digital humanities and related disciplines, to exchange ideas, present new research and explore challenges in the collection, investigation, interpretation and dissemination of maritime ethno-archaeological data. The focus of ‘In the Mind of the Boatbuilder: Asia Pacific Studies in Maritime Ethno-archaeology’ will be on water transport technology in Asia-Pacific, including regional studies and collaborative projects, which employ innovative and emerging technologies, observe boatbuilding traditions and explore archeological evidence for traditional boats, social practices, maritime rituals and associated traditions. We invite researchers from across the Asia Pacific region to submit papers on topics including, but not limited to: ancient seafaring in Asia-Pacific; boat ethnography in Asia-Pacific; ethno-archaeological studies of water transport systems and practices, new and emerging technologies for recording traditional boats; and ethnographic studies of maritime rituals and traditions in boat construction. We particularly welcome submissions that provide new information about regional seafaring that is changing our understanding of human history and creating opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration beyond national boundaries.

Title A name given to the resource 3D Photogrammetry as an Aid to Traditional Canoe Building Description An account of the resource A renaissance in traditional boat building is occurring in Oceania but in some locations ancestral canoe designs are likely lost and so the body of knowledge supporting this renaissance is narrower than in its heyday. Traditional sailing and canoe building skills began to decline initially through colonialist pressure and accelerated in the 20th century with adoption of western values and the introduction of the outboard. This outside pressure has left a break in the chain of local knowledge surrounding canoe design and construction. It is possible that recent resurgence of traditional craft will provide a path to an accurate recreation of local purpose crafted canoes. A powerful and effective tool to ensure skills are passed on, and which can encourage comparative studies between builders, is the use of 3D photo scanning. As Oceania looks to alternatives to fossil fuels for transportation throughout the area traditional sailing techniques and design may have greater purpose for Oceania in development of sustainable transport. 3D photo scanning can help with sharing design ideas on sustainable transportation while aiding to track the connection with the past and future design constructions. With 3D scanning techniques, even if we can’t save all existing older craft, we can capture what they are now and preserve the history before it literally rots away outside somewhere. 3D scanning and photogrammetry can provide an educational platform for schools, the public, traditional boat builders and offers a venue for showcasing traditional craftsmanship as an educational tool. The availability of 3D scanning can offer a record of how boats are being tweaked in the resurgent craft of traditional canoe as it evolves. Through this discussion the author hopes to share 3D scans conducted in Micronesia, gain insight from other like-minded individuals and network for a larger project of capturing digital records of Oceania’s traditional canoes.

Title A name given to the resource The Barbari-Habeshi crewmen and merchants – Uncovering an African maritime tradition in the Indian Ocean World Description An account of the resource Ancient Axum was a maritime trading empire based in present day Ethiopia, Djibouti and Eritrea in the Horn of Africa from 400BCE to around 940CE and for a while the empire even extended across the Red Sea to Yemen. Historians have tended to neglect the story of free African movement across the Indian Ocean. However, a multidisciplinary approach to the evidence of Africans in Asia, demonstrates that the following the arrival of Islam in the Horn of Africa in the 8th century the legacy of Axumite maritime trading was passed successively to the states of Shoa, Ifat and Adal. This maritime tradition gave rise to Muslim African communities known as Habeshis or Habshis in the Indo-Pacific region from the Red Sea to the Straits of Malacca and possibly beyond into the South China Sea. Through images and archives this paper traces the growing presence of Habeshi communities in the Indo-Pacific world from the 8th to the 17th centuries and demonstrates how they were part of the mechanism that turned the Indian Ocean into an “Islamic lake” before the arrival of the Europeans and how these Habeshi’s adapted to the European naval presence and ventured further into the Asia-Pacific region. The paper suggests that the Habeshi were also responsible for the spread of live poritis coral exploitation from their homelands to the East African littoral and across the Indian Ocean. The last point is still being researched in Southeast Asia.

Title A name given to the resource Tanka Sampan Boats of Pearl River Delta : A Case Study in Ethno-archaeology Description An account of the resource For the purpose of keeping with the Conference aim of managing and protecting underwater cultural heritage in Asia, this paper will share the outcome of the investigation of the Chinese Tanka Sampan boat and related aspects, disseminate the maritime ethno-archaeological data. This paper is based on the fieldwork undertaken in Shatian in 2017, it aims at carrying out a study of the Chinese Tanka region through the perspective of the major iconic facet of their culture: Tanka sampan boats. Liu-wang boat and Bai-ban boat, which are recognised as commonly used ones by Tanka people, were used as the primary resources for the research. In the absence of the investigation on the sampan boatbuilding and relevant factors in an ethno-archaeological context, this paper will home in on the ethnographic study of these sampan boats, examine the remaining physical sources and provide an archaeological representation of the boats by reconstructing the boats in two and three dimensional, to provide new data for both traditional boat study from a maritime archaeological aspect and ethnological study on Tanka region. The analysis of Tanka sampan boats permits us to explore connections between the boats and the social life behind it intended for a water environment, reveal the relevant technical aspects of boatbuilding. Also, the application of new knowledge for examining the principles and practices that guided their cultural development, could aid with placing this within the wider maritime context of the region.
