The already well-established international, interdisciplinary research relations regarding cog-type ships form an ideal foundation for experimentally co-developing a collaborative Digital Knowledge Platform.
With this international workshop as a starting event, the German Maritime Museum seeks to bring together scholars from an interdisciplinary range of research fields and topics for an update on the current state of research on such finds of our maritime cultural heritage. And it especially invites participants from institutions that would possibly be interested in collaborating on the development of this Digital Knowledge Platform.
The workshop is open to a wide range of academic and research contexts. Talk proposals which express an interest in interdisciplinary perspectives are especially welcome.
Topics addressed in the workshop will include the following:
CONSERVATION
- methods and challenges
e. g. analysis of the conservation of waterlogged wood
ARCHAEOLOGY
- maritime material culture in context
e. g. ship artillery, shoes, ceramics, wickerwork, tools in comparison with picture-sources, finds from onshore sites, trade and merchandise
- ship-/boatbuilding
e. g. caulking, sails, rigging, naval architecture
- mensuration and gauging
- shipyards
NATURAL SCIENCES
- materials used and their environmental aspects
e. g. wood, hemp, wool, moss, leather, pitch, tar, iron
LINGUISTICS
- terminology
e. g. ships and materials in contemporary sources and different languages
HISTORY
- trade and merchant-guilds
DIGITAL DOCUMENTATION
- documentation and reconstruction of ships/finds
Please send your title and abstract for a presentation of 20 minutes (single PDF, 200 words max. abstract, plus contact information, short CV, including research interests in bullet points) to

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
