520    In the last fifty years the investigation of maritime 
       archaeological sites in the sea, in the coastal zone and 
       in their interconnecting locales, has emerged as one of 
       archaeology's most dynamic and fast developing fields. No 
       longer a niche interest, maritime archaeology is 
       recognised as having central relevance in the integrated 
       study of the human past. Within maritime archaeology the 
       study of watercraft has been understandably prominent and 
       yet their potential is far from exhausted. In this book 
       Jon Adams evaluates key episodes of technical change in 
       the ways that ships were conceived, design.
