ABSTRACT

Human activity along the Amalfi coastline in Italy has been tied to the sea for millennia – for sustenance, migration, trade, warfare, and leisure. As a result, this region has an equally rich and extensive maritime cultural landscape composed of tangible and intangible elements. In 2016, a multi-disciplinary project began efforts to model and to understand changes within this landscape, and this essay presents the preliminary results of our first three seasons of work. Some efforts, such as the documentation of maritime cultural heritage in local museums, archival work, and geomorphological research proceeded smoothly. Unexpectedly, however, little material from the pre-modern era was found under water, adding questions to this study that future work in the Marine Protected Area west of Positano may answer.

摘要

数千年来，意大利阿马尔菲海岸线上的人类活动一直与海洋联系在一起——为了维持生计、移民、贸易、战争和休闲。因此，该地区拥有由有形和无形元素组成的同样丰富和广泛的海洋文化景观。2016 年，一个多学科项目开始努力模拟和理解这一景观的变化，本文介绍了我们前三个工作季的初步成果。地方博物馆海洋文化遗产文献整理、档案工作、地貌研究等工作进展顺利。然而，出乎意料的是，在水下发现的前现代时代的材料很​​少，这为这项研究增加了问题，波西塔诺以西的海洋保护区未来的工作可能会回答。
