This connection will be celebrated through a small ‘Honor Frost in Malta’ exhibition at the Malta Maritime Museum, which will include her notes and illustrations from the Mellieħa Bay excavation.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>Key Themes and Chairpersons</strong></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>Integrated Management of Underwater Cultural Heritage in the context of the Ocean Decade </strong>Emad Kahlil  & Athena Trakadas</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>Phoenician and Punic Seafaring</strong> Nicholas Vella & Chris Monroe</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>Cargo Assemblages – New Documentation and Interpretation Approaches</strong> Stella Demesticha & Peter Campbell                                                       </p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:image --></p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img alt="" /></figure> <p><!-- /wp:image --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>Report Sessions and Chairpersons</strong></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>Maritime Cultural Landscapes  </strong>Nicolas Carayon & Helen Farr           </p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>Maritime Iconography </strong>Timmy Gambin &  Kosta Damianides          </p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>Maritime Archaeology – A History of the Discipline</strong> Lucy Blue & Anna Demetriou</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>Shipwrecks and Shipbuilding</strong>  Giulia Boetto & Irena Radic Rossi</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>Science from the Deep</strong> Franca Cibecchini & Jon Adams</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.um.edu.mt/events/mediterranean2022"} --></p> <figure class="wp-block-embed"> <div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.um.edu.mt/events/mediterranean2022 </div> </figure> <p><!-- /wp:embed --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p> </p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
