We were eagerly awaiting the publication of the Proceedings of ISBSA 13, which remains the main international event in the field of nautical archaeology, held every three years. The book has finally appeared under the title Ships and Maritime Landscapes and we are not disappointed. This is the most substantial of all the ISBSA proceedings published so far. In addition to the two keynote addresses, there are no fewer than 86 communications from a total of 128 contributors from 24 different countries on four continents. Held in Amsterdam in 2012, ISBSA 13 has given a major place to the concept of ‘Maritime Landscapes’, which was chosen as the main theme of the meeting. The two keynote addresses, by Christer Westerdahl and Jerzy Gawronski, introduced this theme: the first by tackling the dialectical relationship between the ship and its environment, the second by dealing with the issue of the development of Amsterdam in the 16th and 17th centuries from the point of view of maritime culture. The first and main section consists of 27 communications which address ‘Maritime Landscapes’ from various viewpoints, both chronological and geographical. As Jonathan Adams points out in the preface to his paper on the environmental and societal factors relating to changes in medieval European shipbuilding, consideration of the concept of ‘Maritime Landscape’, understanding the ship in its context, is an undeniable widening of the discipline towards a stronger integration into maritime archaeology. Other papers discuss regional particularities, from Alaska (E. Anichtchenko), Morocco (A. Trakadas) or Zuiderzee (A. van Holk), via East Asia (J. Kimura), the Mediterranean (M. Harpster) or even inland waters (E. Rieth; L. Kröger; R. Reinders). Some are more technical and methodological (T. Jones, N. Nayling, P. Tanner; K. Løseth; Y. van Popta). While others discuss wrecks within their particular context (T. Maarleveld; B. Mozejko, W. Ossowski; E. Veyrat). Seven more traditional chapters complete the book. The second of these, entitled ‘Regional Watercraft’, is about the huri from the Western Indian Ocean (L. Blue, J. Whitewright and JP Cooper), Spanish flat-bottom boats (JM Matés Luque), the moliceiros of Portugal (M. Pilon) and Irish vernacular craft (D. Tully). The third and fourth chapters concern the fundamental problem of the realization of ships, from their conception to their construction, at different times. The first,‘Design’, deals with two Venetian subjects, the shipbuilding treatise Libro de Navigar (M. Bondioli) and the rowing system of the Venetian Quinquereme (J. Eliav). It also addresses the use of moulds in skeleton-first construction (M. Nicolardi, F. Castro), and repairs according to the structural design of the vessel (E. Rodriguez-Alvarez). The second,‘Construction and Typology’, deals with a wide range of subjects. Some interesting Mediterranean ones, from the Roman era with the new discoveries of shipwrecks at Isola Sacra near Ostia (Rome, Italy), including a new example of the horeia type (G. Boetto, A. Ghelli and P. Germonni), at West Giraglia (Corsica, France) which finally brings significant evidence for the construction of dolia ships (F. Cibecchini, S. Marler and C. de Juan), or the flat-bottomed boat of Cavanella Adige (Veneto, Italy)(F. Tiboni), up to the Byzantine period with the wreck of Yenikapı 20 (Istanbul, Turkey)(T. Güler). The others concern the Nordic world with the wrecks of Nydam (R. Bockius) or the great Danish merchant ship of the 12th-century AD of Karschau (Schleswig, Germany)(A. Englert), and finally the medieval and modern world with the ship of Utrech (A. van de Moortel), and the 15th-century wreck at Bremen (Germany) with …
