2 What is Underwater Archaeology? Archaeology is a branch of anthropology, defined as the study of past peoples and cultures through the objects they left behind
3 Underwater Archaeology is simply archaeology performed in a submerged environment the goals of research into the human past are the same and methods of excavation and interpretation are the same, only the tools are different
4 Specialized Tools and Approaches enable scientists to work from the interface of land and water to the deepest oceans
5 Underwater archaeologists work in often challenging environments, including the ocean, seas, bays, lakes, rivers, springs, marshes, and cenotes, and their adjacent landscapes
6 A Range of Maritime Heritage Sites Ships, Boats, Canoes, Local watercraft, Aircraft Survivor s campsites, Fishing-related areas Navigational aids, Anchorages, Careening places Ports, Harbors, Coastal settlements, Towns, Wharves Shipbuilding sites, Coastal forts and defenses Lighthouses, Bridges, Catastrophic sites Eroded sites, Inundated terrestrial sites And Places where cultural material was lost or purposely deposited into the water
7 Lure of Treasure & Heritage Value Sites often viewed for monetary value Obstacle to preservation is lure of sunken treasure Governments can be swayed by salvors into nonbeneficial schemes with promises of great profit Profits seldom achieved, UCH lost forever However, vulnerability to exploitation is diminishing
8 Lure of Treasure & Heritage Value Countries are implementing heritage programs Museum exhibitions and preservation of sites in situ provide countries with long-term profit Historic preservation enhances a country s tourism product, provides enjoyment and education for the public, and thereby appreciation and protection for the heritage sites

37 A Course for the Future Our Tool Kit: The 2001 UNESCO Convention and the 1996 ICOMOS Charter Specific national legislation should be developed in tandem with these documents Commercial exploitation of UCH should be avoided
38 A Plan for the Future Identify & train key persons Place them in competent authorities to guide in identification, protection, management, research, conservation, and interpretation of UCH Create sustainable regional and local programs and networks Invite cooperation from overseas institutions and individuals Preserve sites in situ as a first option, but empower museums to interpret results of specialized archaeological excavation and research on significant sites Develop site inventories to make informed decisions about how to protect and manage sites Be aware that UCH treated in a sustainable way can provide benefits to education, culture, and tourism
39 Unique Responsibilities Undertake archaeological excavation selectively, with scientific objectives, adequate funding, professional staff, and provisions for documentation, conservation, curation, reporting, and public interpretation Multidisciplinary and multi-institutional collaborations should be encouraged Regional and international cooperation benefit everyone Communication among governments, professionals, and the public is essential
40 To Succeed we must be Creative, Persevere, and most of all, Cooperate
