| Sumario: | [EN] In the Early Modern Age (16th-17th centuries) the construction of ocean-going ships was paramount in the development of cultural encounters in what became known as the Age of Discovery and European expansion. In the case of the Iberian Empires, the establishment of new trade routes brought with it an increased need for armed merchantmen, galleons and other smaller vessels, placing unprecedented demands on Iberian forests for the supply of construction timber. Forestry and sea power became inextricably linked, creating new geopolitical tensions, alliances and forest regulations. This project addresses questions related to Iberian forest resources and the history of shipbuilding through a multidisciplinary and innovative training research program to improve the understanding and conservation of our historical past and cultural heritage. The project research combines knowledge and methodology from the humanities (history and archaeology) and the life sciences (wood anatomy, dendrochronology, isotopes and geochemistry). The main objective of this project is to increase the research background and experience of the fellows through a combination of dedicated training in both transferable and research specific skills, and their participation in a truly multidisciplinary research project which combines historical, archaeological and dendrochronological methodologies. |
