Extractions: Underwater Archaeology Shipwreck Technology potential use in South America by Atilio Nasti versión en español During four years an underwater archaeological research team has submerged in a dangerous sector of the South Atlantic Sea exploring the shipwrecks remains. The research field is La Isla de Lobos (wolfs island), a granite rock in front of the Punta del Este coast in Uruguay. For almost 400 years, the ships have sunk due to the sudden southwest wind, locally named Pampero and frequent fog bank (Nasti 1999). The great quantity of shipwreck remains, the sharp rocks and the submarine current becomes very dangerous for diving. Therefore, we were able to acquire a ROV to explore the sea floor. The purpose of this paper is to present the technology in action to the underwater archaeology research. In pursuing this goal we will develop a scientific resume of the activities and final results. This study emphasizes the use of marine technology to built archaeological testable models, which will, in turn, be compared and contrasted with the archaeological record. Depending on the technology available, the areas between wrecks may have functioned as important resource exploitation zones, or alternatively could have been perceived as empty spaces to be crossed as quickly as possible. For example, an investigation team with marine technology would likely have exploited any potential wreck zone available while navigating from one space to another. Underwater archaeology in South America has so far not used much ROV technology. However my analysis shows that marine technology in underwater archaeology is a discrete and complementary research resource.

Over 2,000 wrecks, including colonial trading ships, ships of war, and luxury passenger vessels from the 19th century, can be found in state waters. Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project , a non-profit organization that instructs divers in the basics of underwater archaeology, and then surveys Rhode Island's shipwrecks with the help of these trained volunteers. Over 400 divers have taken RIMAP's courses to date. These RIMAP-trained divers have surveyed sites in Narragansett Bay ranging from Revolutionary War shipwrecks to a World War II marine railway. In the past few years, RIMAP surveyed the waters around Dutch Island, searched for the Revolutionary War frigate HMS Juno , examined two 19th-century shipwrecks (a barge in Barrington and a passenger vessel in Bristol), and continued work on a Revolutionary War transport vessel.

Marcus This time last year, I reported that the dredge project was about to commence and that I was confident the work would be completed within the year. Well I am glad to say that the project is virtually complete and the boats are back at Turkey Point. While a few items on the punch list still need to be resolved, the bottom line is that we are back in business. I want to commend and thank the staff and users for their flexibility and patience during the project. This past summer I delved into some of the history of the FSUML and unearthed quite a bit of information on research, instruction, and outreach activities. In 1996 the FSUML/ADP supported 19 active grants and contracts representing more than $5 million. This annual dollar amount has steadily risen over the last ten years. Did you know that over the last 30 years more than 300 theses and dissertations have been produced by graduate students working at the FSUML? In the last 12 years the award winning Saturday at the Sea program has provided their unique hands-on experiential learning opportunity for more than 10,000 middle school students. We will celebrate these achievements with an Open House in the Spring of 1998. This event will coincide with other festivities that will mark the 30th anniversary of the laboratory.

Underwater Archaeology The majority of marine archaeology is devoted to the recovery of naval underwater Recording marine archaeologists like land archaeologists have to have http://collections.ic.gc.ca/archaeology/second/archaeology/science/miscellaneous
Extractions: Archaeology is a dynamic field. One aspect, although not used extensively at "Grassy Island", is the sub section of archaeology known as "underwater" archaeology. Underwater excavations are obviously much more costly and difficult than land archeaology. The advantages of underwater archaeology though often make the expense worthwhile. The submergence of the artifacts often results in artifacts that are in very good if not excellent condition unlike the artifacts found in land archaeology. They are also often not far from the surface of the ocean floors and intact for the most part. A limited amount of underwater archaeology was conducted around the island itself. Some artifacts were found such as a plate and clay pipes. The ocean in our area though saw a lot of action so the ocean bed probably has too much to even imagine. They did some work in the area called "admiral's harbour", which is the cove in between Grassy Island and it's neighboring counterpart, George's Island. They hoped to find evidence of french occupation but due to the expense they could only conduct a small search and found mostly english occupation evidence. Further investigation may reveal the evidence they were looking for in time. The majority of marine archaeology is devoted to the recovery of naval architecture (vessels and such). Marine archaeology is really not that much different than that of land archaeology. It involes techniques of cleaning (mechanical, ultrasonic, and chemical), restoration of metal, wood, glass, ceramics, leater; replica production, water and flame proofing, coating and filling polymers, and techniqes to minimize deterioration of, and to conserve archaeological material.

Extractions: Ontario's Marine Heritage Barrel of a carronade staring through the rails of the U.S. warship "Hamilton" sunk in 1813 in Lake Ontario Bordering on the four Great Lakes to the south, James and Hudson Bay on the north, and containing thousands of lakes and rivers in between, Ontario is blessed with an abundance of water. The history of the exploration, settlement and commerce of Ontario from the earliest First Nations peoples to the present day is characterised by the important role that its waterways played. First Nations peoples travelled, traded and lived along our province's waterways for many millennia. The early European explorers arrived on and used these same routes. The early sailing vessels they built were used in the fur trade or for military purposes. However, as Ontario's commerce grew with its population, so did the role of commercial shipping. In the absence of railways and roads, the early development and trade of our province was dependant on its lakes and rivers. A century and a half ago it could have been said that Ontario was "Mother" maritime province. The early First Nations villages and camps, the forts, harbours and early sail and steam vessels have all disappeared. Fortunately, they have left us with a record of their passing in the form of archaeological sites. Of all the environments within which these sites occur, none provides the degree of preservation afforded by the cold, fresh water of Ontario's lakes and rivers. The Great Lakes, with their many well preserved shipwreck sites, have become one of the greatest "outdoor" museums of shipping history in the world.
Extractions: (alphabetical) Evguenia Anichenko: Evgenia Anichenko holds a B.A. in history from St. Petersburg University, Russia and an M.A. from the Central European University. Evgenia is currently finishing an M.A. degree in maritime archaeology at the East Carolina University. Her research in Russian, American and German archives made an important contribution to the on-going multi-institutional project on the shipwreck of the Russian-American ship Kadiak . In addition, she is creating a database of the ships of Russian America from the time of first Russian exploration of the Aleutian Islands until the American purchase of Alaska, which will add both to the comprehensive understanding of the region's maritime history, and to allow analysis of the distribution pattern of Alaskan submerged cultural resources. History for archaeology: predictability of Alaskan maritime sites associated with the Russian-American Company Documentary research holds an important role in the development of the strategies and methodology for the investigation of archaeological resources from the historical period. The extensively documented history of Russian advances in the north Pacific combined with the analysis of the local geography provide a promising base for the creation of a predicative model of site distribution associated with the maritime activities of the RAC. While the array of potential sites include many types, from coastal settlements' waterfronts to the riverine hunting camps, special attention will be given to shipwreck sites.
Underwater Archaeology @ Florida OCHP What is underwater Archaeology? underwater, marine, maritime, or nauticalarchaeology is simply archaeology done under the water. http://dhr.dos.state.fl.us/archaeology/underwater/
Extractions: Overview Sites Laws Participation ... Resources Underwater, marine, maritime, or nautical archaeology is simply archaeology done under the water. Shipwrecks are the most common type of site studied, but harbor and dock remains, fishing structures, and flooded land sites also may be investigated. Where terrestrial (land) archaeologists use trucks to get to their sites, underwater archaeologists use scuba gear. Together with cultural and physical anthropology and linguistics, archaeology - both on land and underwater - is a subfield of the science of anthropology, the study of humankind. Basically, the tools, techniques, and products are the same no matter where one works, although different environments may require adaptations to the task at hand. But the goals are the same: understanding our past. Thanks to the longest coastline in the continental United States and hundreds of lakes, springs, and rivers, Florida has many wet sites and opportunities to study the past under water. Why is Underwater Archaeology Important?
