Since the start of the Queen Anne's Revenge (QAR) project in 1996, over 2,000 artifacts have been recovered and conserved, while potentially several thousand more await removal from concretion and treatment in the laboratory. The QAR artifact assemblage reflects many aspects of early eighteenth-century maritime culture. Ship parts and equipment, arms, scientific, navigational and medical instruments, personal effects, and food preparation and storage items have already been recovered from the shipwreck. By studying the artifacts, archaeologists are able to gain valuable insight into the period's naval technology, colonial provisioning, the slave trade, shipboard life, and the material culture of piracy.
