Folks:

The latest entry for the project journal on Japanese wooden boats as depicted in woodblock prints is now online at the Museum of Underwater Archaeology (MUA).  The journal follows East Carolina University graduate student Michelle Damian as she conducts her Master's research on how inland craft were constructed during the Edo period (1603 – 1867) in Japanese history.  In this most recent entry Michelle rolls up her sleeves and dives into scanning and cataloging images raising new questions along the way.  This work will prepare Michelle for a research trip to Japan which will be the subject of future journal entries.

On another note:

I'd like to thank Jennifer McKinnon, Jason Raupp, and Mark Staniforth for hosting their recent Flinders University field school project journal with the MUA.  It meant extra work for them but the result is a public record of what it's like to learn underwater archaeological field methods.  Their journal, along with ECU's, is now available to a world wide audience to learn from and enjoy.  Thanks guys!
