Archaeological Survey and Contextualization of the Barque Vicar of Bray (1841, Modified 1858/1859), Goose Green, Falklands Islands/Islas Malvinas

The barque Vicar of Bray (1842) is a historically well-documented vessel which has transitioned from a beached hulk to a shipwreck at Goose Green in the Falkland Islands. The barque’s historical and archaeological contexts and its ties to the emerging world system of the nineteenth century are assessed as well as the ongoing site formation processes in an environmental zone that is in transition.
