MAHS Meets Bi-Monthly - You're invited!
MAHS General Membership Meeting
Tuesday October 13, 2026 at 7:30 pm EST
Featured Event:
Sarah Muckerheide: The Punta Espada Wreck, Dominican Republic
Sarah Muckerheide, laboratory and research coordinator for the Center for Underwater Science at
Indiana University, will discuss underwater archaeological investigations on the Punta Espada Shipwreck, a mid-16th
century Iberian transatlantic merchant vessel. Current research, conducted in collaboration with the Dominican
Republic Ministry of Culture, indicates significant site integrity, including evidence of ship hull construction,
artillery, anchors, and cargo. The Punta Espada Shipwreck's cargo contains a diverse assemblage of finished consumer
products being transported from Europe to the Americas, shedding light on systems of international commerce and
the infrastructure of early modern globalization and capitalism.
After the presentation we will conduct MAHS organizational and business matters.
The meeting will be conducted by Zoom technology and is open to all members and current Introductory Course students, who will receive a Zoom invitation and link on the day of the meeting. We look forward to seeing you then.
