The Discovery and Documentation of the Newport Ship: Unlocking the Secrets of a Medieval Merchant Vessel Found in Wales Dr Toby Jones: Curator, Newport Medieval Ship Project In the summer of 2002, archaeologists discovered a remarkably well-preserved medieval merchant ship in the United Kingdom. Construction on the banks of the River Usk, in Newport, Wales, led to the chance find of the unique vessel, which dates to around AD 1450. The large lapstrake-built trading ship and associated artefacts were carefully raised for further study and conservation. Nearly fifteen years of international research and meticulous conservation have helped to unlock the secrets of this historically significant find. The team has been at the forefront of using digital technology, including laser scanners, contact digitisers and CAD software, to document and model the vessel and artefacts. The vessel is thought to have been built in the Basque Country of northern Spain and archaeological evidence suggests strong trading links between Britain and the Iberian Peninsula. The analysis of the hull and numerous objects has provided insight into the technological innovation, forest management and trade patterns of the Atlantic-facing countries of Western Europe during the late-Medieval period. The vessel and finds are currently being conserved with the goal of reassembling the ship for permanent display within the city museum.

Origin and development of sea travel
This document discusses the history of maritime transportation from ancient dugout canoes dating back 8,000 years to modern cruise ships. It covers the evolution of boats from early dugouts and reed boats used in ancient Egypt and other cultures to sailing ships in the Middle Ages powered by sails or oars. The development of steam power allowed for ships like the Savannah in 1819 to cross the Atlantic, while Brunel's Great Western in 1843 was the first iron steamer to do so. Famous ships like the Titanic and modern cruise ships like Allure of the Seas represent peak achievements in ship design and size.

It then outlines the early explorations of the Vikings in the 11th century who discovered Vinland. In the 16th century, European powers like England and France sent explorers to find a northern sea route to Asia, with John Cabot exploring parts of Canada for England in 1497. The French explorer Jacques Cartier further explored the St. Lawrence River region for France in the 1530s-40s. Later explorers in the 16th-17th centuries like Martin Frobisher and Samuel de Champlain mapped out and established settlements in Canada while trading with indigenous groups
3.1 europeans explore the east
Europeans had limited exploration before 1400s but interest grew due to a desire to spread Christianity, gain wealth from trade, and new sailing technologies. Motivations included God, glory, and gold where Europeans wanted to convert non-Christians, gain prestige from discoveries, and access valuable trade goods like spices that previously passed through Italian and Muslim merchants. Technological advances like the caravel ship design, astrolabe, and magnetic compass enabled long voyages and navigation needed to pursue these goals of exploration.
An Archaeology of the East Midlands: Class 2. Radcliffe Autumn 2014
This document summarizes an archaeology class on the early prehistory of the Midlands region.

Archaeology of East Midlands Class 2 Beeston Winter 2015
This document summarizes a class on the early prehistory of the East Midlands region of England. It discusses the earliest human occupation of the region dating back to 450,000 years ago along the Bytham River. As the last ice age ended, the landscape changed dramatically with rising sea levels flooding Doggerland between Britain and continental Europe. The Late Upper Paleolithic period saw nomadic hunter-gatherers occupying caves like Creswell Crags. The Neolithic period saw the adoption of agriculture and construction of monuments like cursuses, henges, and long barrows. Notable archaeological sites from this time include Lismore Field settlement remains and the Bronze Age burial site at Lockington that
TUDOR NAVY AND THE ARMADA.pptx
The document summarizes the development of the English navy under Henry VIII and Elizabeth I, leading up to England's victory over the Spanish Armada in 1588. Henry VIII established the navy as a standing force and invested in shipbuilding. Elizabethan seamen like Drake and Hawkins won fame for their exploits. Tensions rose between Catholic Spain and Protestant England. In 1588, the Spanish Armada was defeated by the faster, more maneuverable English ships under Howard and Drake. The damaged Spanish fleet retreated, marking a major victory for English naval power.
Dichotomy
The document discusses the evolution of carrack ships from the 13th century onward through the fusion of northern European and Mediterranean shipbuilding traditions. It focuses on the development of the carrack in England, including early examples like the Grace Dieu in 1418. The sinking of the Mary Rose in 1545 marked the end of the prominent use of carracks in Britain as the design became seen as outdated and less stable compared to newer ship types.
Maritime New Haven - Sound School
New Haven, Connecticut was founded in 1638 by Reverend John Davenport and Theophilus Eaton, who hoped to develop the city's harbor for trade and transportation. While international trade increased in the 18th century, New Haven remained largely agricultural until later. In the 19th century, New Haven saw growth of its Long Wharf, oyster industry, and transportation including steamboats, canals, and railroads, transforming the city and economy. Recreational activities also emerged along the waterfront for residents.
Neolithic architecture wiki
Neolithic architecture developed soon after 10000 BC in Southwest Asia and spread from there. Neolithic peoples were great builders, constructing houses from wood, mudbricks, and other materials. They also built elaborate tombs for burial of the dead. Many megalithic structures like Stonehenge and dolmens were erected during the Neolithic period. Neolithic pile dwellings have been excavated in lakes and wetland areas in Europe.

1. The document summarizes key events and discoveries from the Age of Discovery, including:
2. The Portuguese organized expeditions down the coast of Africa, with Bartolomeu Dias rounding the Cape of Good Hope and Vasco de Gama reaching India, opening new trade routes.
3. Christopher Columbus sailed west in 1492 hoping to reach Asia but discovered the Americas instead, though he did not realize it was a new continent. This led to the colonization of the Americas by European powers.
4. Ferdinand Magellan's 1519-1522 voyage was the first to circumnavigate the globe, helping establish Spain's claim to much of the world under the Treaty of Tor
3. a short history of tourism xp
The document summarizes the history of British tourism from medieval pilgrimages to the development of modern mass tourism. It describes how tourism began with religious pilgrimages in medieval times and later evolved to include grand tours of Europe by wealthy families in the 16th century. Spa towns became popular destinations in the 18th century for their health benefits. Seaside resorts emerged as popular holiday destinations in the 19th century. The development of railways and industries helped create the middle class who had time for leisure travel. Thomas Cook established package tours, making travel more accessible. Holiday camps and affordable foreign travel further popularized tourism in the 20th century.
Queen anne's revenge
The document summarizes the history of the Queen Anne's Revenge ship. It was originally built in 1710 as the Concord but was captured by pirates in 1717 and renamed. The pirate Blackbeard took control of the ship and added cannons, renaming it the Queen Anne's Revenge. The ship was used by Blackbeard for pirating in the Caribbean and along the American colonies until 1718 when it ran aground in North Carolina. The wreck was discovered in 1996 and many artifacts have been recovered, confirming it as the remains of Blackbeard's infamous ship.

Developing an approach to national mapping: Preliminary work on Scotland in m...
Mae’r cynnydd mawr mewn data wedi’i bell-synhwyro yn yr Alban yn cynnig cyfleoedd ac yn gosod her. Er bod map orthoffotograffig cyflawn o’r Alban ar gael ers rhai blynyddoedd bellach, mae sganio laser o’r awyr (ALS) yn ddarniog, er bod dyhead i’w helaethu neu ei gwblhau hyd yn oed. Mae hyn yn codi her ynghylch sut y bydd Historic Environment Scotland, fel corff arolygu cenedlaethol yr Alban, yn ymdrin â’r cynnydd cyflym mewn data wedi’i bell-synhwyro wrth ddiffinio ymagwedd at fapio cenedlaethol.
Mae ymagweddau sefydledig at archwilio archaeolegol yn pwysleisio rhagchwilio yn y maes, wedi’i gefnogi gan ddata wedi’i bell-synhwyro, ond gwaith sy’n gofyn am dipyn o adnoddau yw hwn. Trafodir gwaith rhagarweiniol ar Ynys Arran, a elwir ar lafar gwlad yn ‘Scotland in Miniature’ (yr Alban ar raddfa fach), i ddatblygu mapio graddfa genedlaethol, gan gynnwys cyflwyno darganfyddiadau newydd, agweddau ar ddata aml-raddedig a dyhead i ddatblygu llifoedd gwaith wedi’u symleiddio sy’n rhoi’r pwyslais ar ddata wedi’i bell-synhwyro a chanfod gwrthrychau awtomataidd. Mae hyn yn gofyn am ddatblygu llifoedd gwaith newydd, ond hefyd am ailystyried agweddau ar arfer sefydledig.
Established approaches to archaeological prospection emphasise field reconnaissance, supported by remote sensed data, but this is a relatively resource intensive operation. Preliminary work on the Island of Arran, which is colloquially known as ‘Scotland in Miniature’, to develop national-scaled mapping is discussed, including presentation of new discoveries, aspects of multi-scaled data and an aspiration to develop streamlined workflows that foreground remote sensed data and automated object detection. This is requiring development of new workflows, but also the renegotiation of aspects of established practice.
The increasing availability of remotely sensed data in Scotland presents opportunities and challenges. While complete coverage of orthophotos have been available for a few years now, availability of Aerial Laser Scanning (ALS) is patchy, though there is an aspiration to greater or even complete coverage. This raises a challenge to how Historic Environment Scotland, as the national body of survey for Scotland, deals with the rapidly increasing remote sensed data in defining an approach to national mapping.

This presentation focuses on the work of the Welsh Language Commissioner in the fields of IT and translation, emphasising the potential to make innovative use of technology in that field. Particular attention is also given to the Commissioner's unique responsibility to recommend the standard forms of place-names in Wales and how that work can contribute to protecting our heritage as well as being a key to understanding that heritage.
The world of IT is developing rapidly and as a result exciting opportunities arise to put the Welsh language on the map and to ensure that the language remains a relevant medium for Welsh speakers today and for future generations.
There are also valuable opportunities to revisit the history and cultural heritage of Wales by using technological systems not only as a means of introducing history, language and culture to new generations, but as a means of safeguarding those elements and preserving valuable information.
This presentation will therefore consider the role of the Welsh language as a medium and bridge between yesterday, today and tomorrow as we take advantage of digital technology.
Natural Historical Archives as Digital Challenge and Opportunity - Andreas We...
Mae’r prosiect treftadaeth ddigidol cydweithiol Making Sense of Illustrated Handwritten Archives yn datblygu amgylchedd digidol uwch-dechnolegol cyfeillgar i’r defnyddiwr a fydd yn hwyluso gwaith haneswyr, biolegwyr a churaduron sydd â diddordeb mewn treftadaeth byd natur wedi’i digido a threftadaeth llawysgrifenedig ddarluniedig.
Mae’r prosiect Making Sense yn rhoi sylw arbennig i archif Pwyllgor Byd Natur India’r Iseldiroedd, menter gasglu ar raddfa fawr a ariannwyd gan y brenin Isalmaenig Willem I. O 1820 hyd 1850 bu aelodau’r Pwyllgor yn gwneud teithiau helaeth drwy Ynysfor Indonesia, gan greu casgliad unigryw o ddogfennau llawysgrifenedig, sbesimenau a darluniau. Yn ogystal â bwrw golwg cyffredinol dros y prosiect, bydd fy narlith yn trafod y cyfleoedd, peryglon a goblygiadau ehangach sydd ynghlwm wrth gymhwyso system adnabod delweddau (geiriau) a thechnegau digidol eraill yng nghyd-destun casgliadau llawysgrifenedig darluniedig wedi’u digido.
The collaborative digital heritage project Making Sense of Illustrated Handwritten Archives develops a user-friendly and technologically advanced digital environment which is meant to facilitate the work of historians, biologists and curators interested in digitized natural historical and other illustrated handwritten heritage.
Core use case of the Making Sense project is the archive of the Committee of Natural History of the Netherlands Indies, a large scale collecting endeavour financed by the Dutch king Willem I. From 1820 to 1850, members of the Committee made extensive tours through the Indonesian Archipelago and brought together a unique set of handwritten documents, specimens and visuals. Next to a project overview, my lecture discusses opportunities, pitfalls, and wider implications which the application of an (word) image recognition system and other digital techniques in the context of digitized illustrated handwritten collections entail.

Un newydd-ddyfodiad i’r farchnad brysur hon yw Yarn, llwyfan adrodd storïau digidol sy’n dwyn ynghyd gasgliadau amgueddfeydd ac archifdai ac archifau a deunyddiau hanesyddol y defnyddwyr eu hunain.
Recent developments in digital engagement tools have created a dynamic environment for the reinterpretation of heritage. From open access historical research to digitised museum and archive collections, researchers, community groups and heritage organisations are now blessed with an abundance of previously hard-to-reach primary resources, accessible through websites, catalogues and third party sites. One relative newcomer in this busy marketplace is Yarn, a digital storytelling platform designed to bring the collections of museums and archives together with users’ own archives and historic materials.

Maps and Mapping at the Royal Commission - Tom Pert
Since its establishment in 1908, the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales has been recording archaeological and historic sites and monuments both spatially and cartographically. The role of the Commission both as a public archive of maps, and as a map producing body supplying map depictions of archaeological sites to the Ordnance Survey, is unique in Wales.
In this presentation the wealth of cartographic and spatial material available to researchers within the Royal Commission’s archive will be revealed. The ways in which staff at the Commission utilise these resources to record, interpret and present the past will also be explored. The opportunities that members of the public have to access and use these resources will also be discussed. Finally, there will be an exploration of the potential offered by new and emerging technologies such as Augmented and Virtual Reality to depict sites and landscapes of the past.

Lives of the First World War: Creating a Digital Memorial
Charlotte Czyzyk: Public Engagement and Project Manager, Imperial War Museums
Lives of the First World War is Imperial War Museums’ online platform to discover, remember and share stories of men and women who contributed to the British war effort in the First World War. In the digital age, we aim to fulfil the original IWM mission statement to commemorate ‘the toil and sacrifice’ of more than 7.5 million people from across the Empire and Commonwealth. Our vision is to enrich people’s understanding of the First World War through telling powerful stories of ordinary individuals living through extraordinary times.
Since May 2014 thousands of people have uploaded precious family photographs, shared anecdotes and connected military and genealogical records to this permanent digital memorial. In this talk, Project Manager Charlotte Czyzyk will highlight some of the fascinating stories that have come to light, and illustrate how the site is populated by members of the public, cultural organisations, community groups and academics alike. She will also advise delegates on how to use Lives of the First World War to create a rich legacy for their research and projects.

Folcloristas de Panamá: Using a WhatsApp Group as a Crowdsourcing Platform for Preserving Knowledge of the Past
Marino Jaén Espinosa: Director, PanamaTipico.com
The ubiquity of smartphones has opened new opportunities for groups of people to exchange information in efficient ways. While not cutting-edge in technology, the resulting digital communities bring valuable contributions to heritage preservation in places without easy access to specialized crowd-sourcing platforms.
One example of such communities is Folcloristas de Panamá, a WhatsApp group devoted to discussing a wide range of topics related to the past and the folklore of Panama. Even though it has not yet turned one year old, the community has had a significant impact on the cultural heritage community of Panama, as it has transcended the digital realm to become a formal association.
This work is an analysis of the group’s origins, members’ profiles, typology of content shared, internal conflicts and autoregulation mechanisms. The main goal is to explain the success of the group as a crowdsourcing platform and to describe its impact in the real world, while encouraging a discussion about similarities and differences with comparable experiences elsewhere.
This is the third study in a series about crowdsourcing in digital folklore communities in Panama. The first was about PanamaTipico.com, a cultural heritage website, presented at the 2014 Digital Presentation and Preservation of Cultural and Scientific Heritage International Conference, held in Bulgaria. The second paper was about Chepo Cultura y Tradición, a Facebook fan page dealing with the collective memory of a town, presented in 2016 at Towards Digital Folkloristics International Conference, held in Latvia (not yet published).
Our work aims to understand the contribution of digital crowdsourcing communities to the preservation of the rich cultural heritage of Panama.
Camera, Pole and Mobile Phone in Azerbaijan - Dave maynard, çox şəkillər
The document discusses the use of photography for archaeological site recording in Azerbaijan between 2005-2016. It details how different projects used a variety of techniques including planning frames, total stations, and GPS to lay out and record excavation units. A remotely triggered camera on a pole was also used to record overall site plans and features. The photos were processed using software to create 2D and 3D models for mapping sites in a GIS system. Issues and successes with the photographic technique are outlined.
Ymgysylltu Digidol ac Addysg / Digital Engagement and Education - Owen Llywelyn
The National Library of Wales and Amgueddfa Cymru-National Museum Wales worked in partnership to create digital learning materials on Hwb about World War 1. They developed interactive games, activities, and resources using items from their collections to support the Welsh curriculum. An important part of the process was gathering teacher feedback and ensuring the resources were easy for teachers to find and use without prior subject knowledge. The goal was to make the collections central to the learning while experimenting with new technologies and formats to engage both students and educators.

Jill Cousins: Executive Director, Europeana
Europeana constructed a Publishing Framework (video) together with its contributing cultural heritage institutions to be more explicit about the possible returns of opening up data and delivering better quality. This framework has been translated and implemented across Europe to help institutions understand the benefits of being able to open up their data. A couple of case studies from the museum, archive and library world will used to illustrate the results of adopting a more open approach, covering both the positive and the negative.

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
