Nautical Archaeology Publications
The Studies in Nautical Archaeology Series (SINA) was established in 1995 to share research on all aspects of nautical archaeology of the seas, lakes, and rivers of the world during all time periods. Special emphasis has been placed on the history of maritime technology. Ship iconography and trade are also important considerations.
The series has so far highlighted the research of the Institute of Nautical Archaeology and the graduate theses and dissertations of Nautical Archaeology Program students, but all authors are invited to submit manuscripts on maritime technology and related subjects.
The SINA Series is published by Texas A&M University Press and is distributed in Europe by Chatham Publishing, London.
The Studies in Nautical Archaeology Series and Nautical Archaeology Series have now been combined into the Ed Rachal Foundation Nautical Archaeology Series. Below is a list of links pertaining to the combined series. Members of the Institute of Nautical Archaeology get a 30% discount on all of the books in this series!
