Welcome to the third series of Beyond Japan! In this episode, Oliver is joined by Randy Sasaki, researcher at the Kyushu National Museum, to discuss his specialism of underwater archaeology, otherwise known as maritime or nautical archaeology. Randy and I explore the window shipwrecks provide into international trade spanning hundreds and even thousands of years, as well as the benefits and challenges of sea-based archaeological surveys as opposed to land-based surveys. Randy also shares with us details of his project in Tango, off the northern coast of Kyoto prefecture.
