"Ships' Graveyards" is an explicitly theoretical study that avoids the single site bias prevalent in most underwater archaeology research. It also eschews the traditional examination of shipwreck sites as the core component of study in this field.Instead, Nathan Richards seeks to discover what we can learn by examining intentionally abandoned vessels and to determine what the differences are between cultural site formation processes and those created "naturally" (that is, by shipwrecks and other nautical disasters).Using Australian waters as a case study, Richards examines over 1,500 vessels abandoned over a period of more than 200 years.
