Οι θαλάσσιες γεωφυσικές μέθοδοι αποτελούν ένα πολύ χρήσιμο μέσο για τη μελέτη της ενάλιας αρχαιολογίας γιατί βοηθούν στη γρήγορη επισκόπηση μεγάλων εκτάσεων του πυθμένα και στον εντοπισμό αρχαιολογικών στόχων που μπορεί να βρίσκονται θαμμένοι κάτω από πετρώματα του πυθμένα. Επίσης οι θαλάσσιες γεωφυσικές μεθόδοι χρησιμοποιούνται για για τον προσδιορισμό των παλαιοακτών. Με αυτό τον τρόπο μπορει να γίνει ανάπλαση του παλαιόπεριβάλλοντος και της μορφολογίας μιας περιοχής και να συγκεντρωθούν πολύ σημαντικα στοιχεία για τη γεωλογία της περιοχής έρευνας και τον τρόπο με τον οποίο εξελίχθηκε με το πέρασμα των χρόνων. Η διπλωματική αυτή πραγματεύεται τον τρόπο έρευνας και τις γεωφυσικές μεθόδους που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν για την ανάπλαση των παλαιοακτών στην περιοχή Πόρου- Μοδίου, τα συμπεράσματα που προέκυψαν και οι`αρχαιολογικοί στοχοι οι οποιοι βρέθηκαν. Κατασκευάστηκε ο βυθομετρικός χάρτης της περιοχής, και έγινε η ανάπλαση των εντοπισμένων παλαιοακτών. Τέλος καταγράφηκε ο εντοπισμός ενός μυκηναικου ναυαγίου στο ένα άκρο της νήσου Μόδι. / Marine geophysical methods are a very useful tool for the study of underwater archeology, because they help in quick overview of large areas of the seafloor and identify archaeological objectives which can be found buried under the rock bottom. Also marine geophysical methods used to determine palaeoshorelines. In this way can be palaeoenvironmental reconstruction and morphology of an area and gather crucial information on the geology of the study area and how they evolved over the years. This dissertation discusses the research and the geophysical methods which were used for regeneration palaeoshorelines in Poros-Modi and the conclusions and the 'archaeological objectives which were found. Build a bathymetric map of the area, and became the regeneration of localized palaeoshorelines. Finally recorded the location of a Mycenaean wreck at one end of the island of Modi.

A presente pesquisa integra os esforços de um projeto mais amplo que é aquele definido pelo Programa Arqueológico do Baixo Vale do Ribeira, coordenado pela Profª Drª Maria Cristina Mineiro Scatamacchia, e que, de forma sucinta, objetiva a produção de conhecimento arqueológico sobre as diferentes sociedades humanas que ocuparam, desde o período pré-histórico, a planície costeira de Cananéia-Iguape. No nosso caso, especificamente, a proposta foi a de agregar a esse esforço de pesquisa, o espaço insular do Bom Abrigo, propondo interpretações sobre os exemplares de cultura material aí presentes e seu papel no processo de formação e desenvolvimento da sociedade histórica que se estabeleceu no território brasileiro a partir do século XVI, em particular daquelas comunidades da planície costeira de Cananéia-Iguape. O foco de nossa discussão é aquele definido pela "Arqueologia Marítima", que procura analisar os diferentes aspectos do que podemos classificar como uma "cultura marítima" e de sua importância dentro dos processos sociais, políticos e econômicos produzidos pela diferentes sociedades humanas. Essa relação com o ambiente marítimo se reflete, também, na nossa metodologia de pesquisa que tem, como destaque, o emprego de técnicas de arqueologia subaquática. Em linhas gerais, a pesquisa realiza uma macro-análise da Ilha do Bom Abrigo, propondo interpretações sobre três diferentes contextos de interesse arqueológico aí identificados, a saber: a armação baleeira, o complexo faroleiro e a Enseada da Prainha. Em todos eles visamos discutir a importância do papel da cultura marítima dentro do processo de formação e desenvolvimento da sociedade comercial-mercantil capitalista que se instalou na região da planície costeira de Cananéia-Iguape, a partir dos primeiros anos do século XVI, e que serviu de base para a formação da atual sociedade brasileira. / The present research integrates efforts from a wider-ranging project which is defined by the Archeological Program from Baixo Vale do Ribeira coordinated by Professor Maria Cristina Mineiro Scatamacchia. The Archeological Program from Baixo Vale do Ribeira aims, in short, the production of archeological knowledge about different human societies that occupied the coastal plain Cananéia-Iguape since the pre historical period. In this case, specifically, the proposal was to aggregate into the research efforts the Bom Abrigo Island, presenting interpretations on the material culture found there and its role in the formation and development process of the historical society that was established in the Brazilian territory from the XVI century on , in particular of those communities from the coastal plain Cananéia-Iguape. The focus of our discussion is defined by the Maritime Archeology which analyzes the different aspects of what we can classify as a maritime culture and its importance in the social, political and economical processes produced by the different human societies. This relation with the maritime environment is also reflected in our research methodology which applies techniques of underwater archeology. In a broad sense, the research performs a macro analyzes of the Bom Abrigo Island proposing interpretations about three different contexts of archeological interest identified there: the whaling station, the lighthouse complex and the "Prainha" bay. In the three contexts we aimed to discuss the importance of the maritime culture in the formation and development process of the commercial, mercantile, capitalist society which was established in the coastal plain Cananéia-Iguape from the very first years in the XVI century, and which served as a basis for the formation of the current Brazilian society.

Au tout début du XXIe siècle, une équipe d’archéologues plonge sur l’épave d’un petit navire de guerre du XVIIIe siècle, au nord de l’actuelle République Dominicaine. Sa coque est de fabrication américaine, ses canons sont écossais et les boutons d’uniformes sont français. Après avoir suivi quelques fausses pistes, la recherche aux Archives nationales permet de résoudre l’énigme : il s’agit de la corvette française Dragon du chevalier de l’Espine, détruite en janvier 1783 à l’issue d’un court combat contre des vaisseaux britanniques assurant le blocus nord de Saint-Domingue. Cette identification sert de catalyseur à une recherche historique dont le chevalier Joseph de L’Espine du Puy (1759-1826) constitue le personnage central. L’enquête révèle le destin de l’officier de la Marine L’Espine, en amont puis en aval de son fait d’armes de janvier 1783. Jeune chevalier de Malte et officier de la Marine de Louis XVI, L’Espine participe à la guerre de l’Indépendance américaine, effectue un passage obligé dans la Marine de Malte, et participe à des missions secrètes françaises de renseignement naval. La Révolution française vient briser ses espérances et l’oblige à l’exil. En Autriche, il gagne la confiance des hautes autorités autrichiennes en s’engageant sans ambiguïté contre les armées de la France à partir de 1795. L’Espine devient rapidement l’un des cerveaux d’une Marine de guerre autrichienne remise en question à chaque traité signé entre la France et l’Autriche. Promu Feldmarschall-Leutnant en 1813, L’Espine décide de ne pas rentrer en France à la Restauration. Nommé Gouverneur de Milan en novembre 1825, il y meurt le 31 décembre 1826. / At the very beginning of the 21st century, a team of archaeologists dived on the wreck of a small 18th century warship in the north of the current Dominican Republic. Its hull is of American manufacture, its guns are Scottish and the buttons of uniforms are French. After having followed some false leads, the research in the National Archives makes it possible to solve this enigma: it concerns the French corvette Dragon of Chevalier de L’Espine, destroyed in January 1783 after a short action against British vessels ensuring the northern blockade of Santo Domingo. This identification serves as a catalyst for a historical research of which Chevalier Joseph de L'Espine du Puy (1759-1826) constitutes the central character. The investigation reveals the fate of the Navy officer L'Espine upstream and downstream of his gallant action in January 1783. Young Knight of Malta and officer of the Navy of Louis XVI, L'Espine participated in the American Revolution, did a mandatory service in the Navy of Malta, and took part in French naval intelligence secret missions. The French Revolution ruined his hopes and forced him into exile. In Austria, he won the confidence of the high Austrian authorities by unambiguously engaging with the armies of France from 1795. L'Espine quickly became one of the brains of an Austrian Navy questioned at each treaty signed between France and Austria. Promoted to Feldmarschall-Leutnant in 1813, L'Espine decided not to return to France at the Restauration. Appointed Governor of Milan in November 1825, he died there on December 31, 1826.
