ANTH-3165H Maritime Archaeology is being offered in cooperation with Discovery Harbour (Huronia Historical Parks) in Penetanguishene, Ontario. The course introduces students to the archaeology of human interaction with water, focusing mainly on ships and related infrastructure (wharfs, docks and harbours).
- There is no prerequisite for this course.
- The course does not have a SCUBA component.
We use the facilities and museums in Huronia Parks, including the remains of HMS Tecumseth and its replica (pictured). Students gain hands-on experience in ship anatomy, recording of ship architecture, and the archaeology of harbour infrastructure. The course fee does not include room and board, although on-site accommodation is available at a modest additional cost.
