In the 18th century, European warships used various types and relied on them to anchor and perform other maneuvers. The anchor industry was at that time one of the most complex expressions of iron forging technology and, under a process of increasing industrialization, it was subject to several changes. In this article, we examine the characteristics of the anchors of the main Maritime powers in terms of design and manufacturing. In light of the available documentary and material sources, we discuss aspects related to the process of standardization and technological change in the anchor industry. Complementarily, we present some guidelines for the study of anchors of archaeological provenance. Las anclas fueron un elemento de capital importancia a lo largo de la historia de la navegación. En el siglo XVIII, los barcos de guerra europeos utilizaban varios tipos y dependían de ellas para fondear y realizar otras maniobras. La industria ancorera constituyó en aquel entonces una de las expresiones más complejas de la tecnología de forjado del hierro y, en el marco de un proceso de industrialización creciente, estuvo sujeta a varios cambios. En este artículo examinamos las características de las anclas, en materia de diseño y manufactura, de las principales potencias marítimas. A la luz de las fuentes documentales y materiales disponibles, discutimos aspectos relativos al proceso de estandarización y cambio tecnológico en la industria ancorera. Complementariamente, presentamos algunos lineamientos para el estudio de anclas de procedencia arqueológica. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/6866 10.34096/arqueologia.t25.n2.6866 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/6866/6081 Arqueología; Vol. 25 No. 2 (2019): May-August; 169-193 Arqueología; Vol. 25 Núm. 2 (2019): mayo-agosto; 169-193 1853-8126 0327-5159 Anchor industry Forging technology Nautical equipment Maritime archaeology 18th century Industria ancorera Tecnología de forjado Equipamiento náutico Arqueología marítima Siglo XVIII Historical and archaeological contributions to the study of the standardization process in the anchor industry of the 18th century European maritime powers Aportaciones históricas y arqueológicas al estudio del proceso de estandarización en la industria ancorera de las potencias marítimas europeas del siglo XVIII info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=arqueo&d=6866_oai
