RESEARCH PAPERS

 

RESEARCH PAPERS PREPARED

Research Papers are grouped in two categories: Shipwreck Related

and Other. Included are several Preliminary Reports and other reports on

shipwrecks (Con Dao Island Shipwreck, Kangxi Indonesia Shipwreck,

Tet Shipwreck, and others) which were never formally excavated and

documented.  This is very valuable information, which would otherwise

be lost, but is preserved here.

 

Other Research Papers include, for example, the following:

Annamese Tiles -  Annamese wall tiles were produced specifically and

exclusively for the East Java, Indonesia market centered at Trowulan.

The period of manufacture was confined to the 15th century. 

Examples have not been found in Vietnam or anywhere else. 

Further details, including examples of tiles, are discussed in this paper:

Yingqing Spotted Wares - underglaze iron-brown spotted wares

are characterized by irregularly shaped iron spots as the primary and

exclusive decorative device.  In the Yuan dynasty the use of this

technique was perfected and amplified, and it became one of the

principal decorative techniques on a limited variety of yingqing and

celadon wares. This Paper provides a brief discussion of these wares

with examples included. PAPER    PHOTOS
