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.
