Maritime archeology has grown to be an extremely versatile discipline of remarkable breath and substance. The list of sessions accepted for IKUWA 7 reflects this diversity. The framework of the upcoming conference includes aspects ranging from the archeology of wetland landscapes and island communities to maritime spatial planning and climate crisis, underwater parks and Blue Growth; from trade, recycling and reuse in the maritime context to boats and ships as symbols in the past.
