Caesarea/Marine Archaeology/Ancient Harbor COMBINED CAESAREA EXPEDITIONS (underwater) Excavations of Sebastos King Herod s Harbor. INTRODUCTION. The ancient harbor at Caesarea, Israel is located on http://hannover.park.org/Canada/Museum/caesarea/CaesareaHome.html
Extractions: Underwater Excavations of Sebastos: King Herod's Harbor The ancient harbor at Caesarea, Israel is located on the Mediterranean coast midway between Tel Aviv and Haifa near the Kibbutz Sdot Yam (34 deg 53.5 min E 32 deg 30.5 min N). The harbor was commissioned and built by Herod the Great in 21 BC. Herod used a new Roman building technique which incorporated newly invented material, hydraulic concrete, to build harbor moles out from the coastline. The early history of the harbor is documented by Josephus Flavius, however, the later history is still largely unknown (the harbor is presently submerged 5-7m below mean sea level). Recent excavations have focused on reconstructing the method of harbor construction and the morphology of the harbor in order to understand how the harbor functioned and how it changed through time. The Reseach This site was constructed by Eduard G. Reinhardt. I would like to thank Derek Threinen, Jana Owen and Heather Devine for their input. Many of the photos were provided by Derek Threinen and Nina Hodge. Of course, this site would not have been possible without the directors, the staff, and the volunteers of the Combined Caesarea Excavations who have devoted an incredible amount of time and effort to the project.

Extractions: Navarino Bay (Greece) and Alexandria, Egypt. Since the appearance of mankind on earth, the marine environment has been used for habitation (coastal villages, towns, cities), food resources, migration and goods transport. Many coastal towns and cities are at present submerged under water due to eustatic and isostatic movements, furthermore many thousands of wrecks are assumed to be lying on the seafloor or buried in the sediments on the seabed. During the last three years, the Laboratory has been involved in underwater archaeological prospecting using marine geophysical techniques in Navarino (Pylos) Bay and Alexandria Egypt. In Navarino Bay, the marine geophysical surveying using sub-bottom profiling, side scan sonar and R.O.V inspection of the seafloor, has shown the presence of wrecks on the seafloor, which may be part of the Turkish fleet. Furthermore, the survey has shown that the
Irish Sea Marine And Coastal Archaeology He also emphasises the need for training divers in marine archaeology before and during the investigation of (underwater) sites and indicates the provisions http://www.liv.ac.uk/~isf1/semsums/sem21sum.html
Extractions: Irish Sea Marine and Coastal Archaeology The purpose of the seminar was to review the potential for archaeological discovery in the Irish Sea and to indicate the extent to which this potential is being properly exploited. The law surrounding marine wrecks and artefacts in both the UK and Ireland are reviewed as are the techniques available to archaeologists. A number of case studies are reported notably the survey of the submarine Resurgam off North Wales. Cecil Jones (University of Wales, Bangor) reviews the development of marine archaeology in recent years, emphasising its importance and the role of new techniques that enable investigations in deeper waters. The cultural links between communities round the Irish Sea make it a particularly valuable area of study. He also draws attention to the role of modern knowledge of ocean currents and winds in determining the most likely ancient sea routes within the Irish Sea. This together with knowledge of seabed conditions enables the most likely locations of ancient wrecks to be searched. The provision of training courses for marine archaeologists, including the many amateur divers who make important contributions, is regarded of great importance if investigations are to be carried out in a way, that extracts the most information in an environmentally responsible manner. Colin Breen (National Monuments and Historic Properties, Dublin) reviews the development of marine archaeology in Ireland giving examples of some of the wrecks that had been explored. He also outlines the steps that have been taken in the Republic of Ireland to protect and investigate its underwater marine heritage. These steps include a survey to create an inventory of wrecks and the establishment of an archaeological diving unit. Findings of the survey are summarised. The threats from treasure hunters, amateur divers and the fishing industry to the archaeological value of wrecks are outlined. The less well recognised threats from sea defences, submarine cables, dumping of dredging spoil and sand and gravel extraction are also highlighted. A well planned strategy is needed to avoid the destructive effects of these activities.

To conduct programs in conjunction with educational institutions that will enable students to further their knowledge of the marine sciences; while accomplishing basic research in an effort to learn methods of increasing reproduction, population, and growth of local marine organisms. B. To cooperate with local and national agencies in their quest for knowledge of the marine sciences and marine histories. C. To provide aquaria facilities for the interested visitor to view marine specimens and partake as spectation in the continuous drama of life under the sea and to establish a museum facility to house artifacts and displays relating to marine archaeology and the various marine sciences and other marine histories.

Extractions: The Archaeology of Shipwrecks For Ken Cassavoy, the one constant theme of his many-faceted career is getting the story right. As station manager of a broadcasting news division, faculty member in a college broadcasting program or project director at an archeological site, Ken Cassavoy is determined to get it right. He likes to sort out the inconsequential and focus on the truth. Cassavoy has a degree in broadcasting from Ryerson in Toronto. He sat on both sides of the microphone in his working broadcast career. At Centennial College, he was on both the business management side and teaching faculty side during his time there. A Christmas gift of diving equipment from his wife, Pat, quite accidentally opened up a new career venue. This gift and an interest in anthropology eventually melded together and led to his present career as a marine archaeologist. At first, Cassavoy felt diving lacked purpose and he also discovered it was not a family sport. His interest in marine archaeology was piqued, however, when his study of anthropology led to work on an underwater site near Orillia. In one of those strange twists of fate, this site was located only a few miles from where Cassavoy had spent his youth. The work on this site evolved into a two-year long project. At the age of 39, Cassavoy recognized the need for an advanced degree in the field. Together with his family, he moved to the unlikely destination of Texas and enrolled in Texas A&M's graduate marine archaeology program. He studied under George Bass, known as the "father of underwater archaeology". Cassavoy was exposed to many fascinating opportunities, including work on a historic site in Turkey that dated back to 2500 B.C.
