Artifact Assemblage and Analysis



The Queen Anne's Revenge artifact assemblage represents many aspects of early eighteenth-century maritime culture. Ship parts and equipment, arms, navigational tools, personal effects, food preparation and storage containers, medical instruments, and cargo items have been recovered from the shipwreck. Historians continue to search the archives for relevant documents that may put Queen Anne's Revenge within a historical context and help interpret its material culture. Archaeologists are also reviewing the literature to find comparative artifacts from similar sites to better date and understand the shipwreck's artifact assemblage.
