Finding Historic Shipwrecks in the Dynamic Coastal Environment of Winyah Bay: A Geoarchaeological Approach

This presentation discusses a collaborative research project between the University of South Carolina’s South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology-Maritime Research Division, the College of Charleston, and Coastal Carolina University’s Marine Science Department, interfacing historic coastal zone paleoreconstructions with an archaeological marine remote sensing survey to locate, assess, identify, and conduct preliminary documentation of the Spanish Capitana. The Capitana, one of six vessels used in a failed settlement attempt by the Spanish Crown to gain a foothold in the New World, was lost in 1526 when it grounded and sank approaching Winyah Bay, South Carolina. The presentation consists of 40 slides. The first six pages of the downloadable file is the text which accompanied the presentation, and the remaining 40 pages are the presentation slides
