abstract = "It is with great delight that I write the foreword for this book. Having spent most of my career researching legacy data from underwater excavations in the field of maritime archaeology of the early 1960s and 1970s, I am keenly aware of the potential of such studies and the importance of publishing such sites. My own work includes the study of legacy data related to ship construction techniques, archaeometallurgy, dendroarchaeology, and material provenancing from the seminal wreck sites of the 1629 Dutch East India Company ship Batavia off the coast of Western Australia and the 4th-century B.C. Kyrenia ship in Cyprus. Both shipwrecks were excavated at a time when underwater archaeology was in its infancy and basic excavation techniques were being developed and refined for the very first time. As meticulously and brilliantly our pioneering colleagues excavated shipwrecks and underwater sites, in general, many aspects of their work have remained unstudied and unpublished to date. ",
