11: Finnish Academy of Science and Letters, 1997. Hardcover. Text in English. 238 pp. Authors inscription on the front free endpaper.
In their struggle to create a picture of the past, archaeologists and historians have made very few attempts to join forces. The author of this book attempts to show how the knowledge of historians and the methodology of archaeologists can be combined to provide answers to the riddles of the past. The many anonymous historical wrecks of the Baltic raise many questions. Here it is shown how physical and written evidence can be combined to provide answers to questions such as: what was this ship, from where did she come, what was her destination, and why was she lost?
This book shows a way to conduct marine archaeological surveys in the Baltic waters, which were once a destination for the ships of many nations, some of wich never reached their goal. Fine. Item #4903
