Extractions: MARINE ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION Course Information Gustav Adolf S/S Sundsborg ... [ In English ] The diploma course in Marine Archaeological Conservation began in September 2000 at the Department of Conservation Studies, Evtek Institute of Art and Design , Vantaa, Finland. This is the first time that a specialised course at the international level has been offered in this field, and it marks a significant shift in the training of marine archaeological conservators. The course is being funded by the Finnish government to promote the conservation of the many well-preserved shipwrecks found in the Baltic Sea, such as the recent discovery of the 1771 Vrouw Maria wreck off the Finnish coast. The training program will prepare conservators for the challenge of preserving these shipwrecks and artefacts either in-situ or after excavation. Sixteen students are currently undertaking the diploma course, including six from abroad. The students come from a variety of backgrounds including conservation, archaeology, art history, physical geography, marine biology and boat building. The course is coordinated by Heikki Häyhä of Evtek Institute and was designed and set up with the assistance of Vasilike Argyropoulos from the Technical Educational Institute in Athens. Christian Degrigny of Arc Antique in Nantes, France arrived in January 2001 to spend six months with the students as a lecturer and coordinator of the practical work.
Hellenic Institute Of Marine Archaeology The Hellenic Institute of marine Archaeology (HIMA) was founded in 1973 as On the evidence gathered to date the underwater find of Dokos is dated to ca. http://www.culture.gr/2/21/215/21502/e21503.html
Extractions: T he Hellenic Institute of Marine Archaeology (HIMA) was founded in 1973 as a private, non-profit organization. Its main aim is to organize and promote maritime archaeological research in Greece and to assist the Greek Archaeological Service. It has over 400 members, with diverse academic credentials, all of whom work voluntarily. HIMA's scientific and technical expertise provides a solid background for the promotion of underwater archaeology in Greece and beyond. Its non-governmental status gives HIMA an advantageous flexibility not shared by bureaucratic governmental organizations. HIMA's multifaceted scientific activities include: Underwater surveys and excavations; Publications; Training; International cooperative projects. From 1973 until 1989 HIMA completed numerous small projects such as a survey and rescue excavations. From 1989 to 1992, under the direction of Dr. George Papathanassopoulos, HIMA has systematically investigated an Early Helladic II underwater site at the island of Dokos. On the evidence gathered to date the underwater find of Dokos is dated to ca. 2150 BC and might well constitute the cargo of an Early Helladic II ship. It could therefore prove to be the oldest known shipwreck yet discovered. The wreck at Point Iria, in the Argolid, was excavated from 1990 to 1994 under the direction of Haralambos Pennas. The cargo from the wreck, consisting of pottery from 3 different areas (Crete, Cyprus, and mainland Greece) is dated to 1200 BC. It confirms the apparently frequent and direct links between the Argolid and Cyprus at the time, and represents an "everyday" trading expedition within the Mycenaean world.

INAH / Arqueología Subacuática Here we would like to talk to you about what underwater Archaeology is, we call underwater an not marine the archaeology which is practiced underwater. http://www.inah.gob.mx/inah_ing/arq_subq/htme/pg2.html
Extractions: Underwater Archaeology is simply archaeology since it has the same objective: the understanding of human groups which lived before us, and this is achieved by the study of the remains which have been preserved through time and space. Every piece found is a unique fragment for the understanding of that great puzzle we call our history. We are all responsible for the protection of our past, and the best way to do so is by getting to know it. The more we know our past, the more careful we will be not to destroy it. This is the reason why we would like to transmit what our work is about and why it is so fascinating, and, above all, why we are convinced that being in touch with the past makes us stronger as individuals and as nations.

Extractions: Denis Aelbrecht, J.-M. Menon and Eric Peltier To order a copy Like many coastal cities, Alexandria must deal with the problems that arise from competition and conflict over limited resources. Urban expansion or wetlands conservation, tourism development or industrial waste disposal, artisanal fisheries or port development these everyday challenges characterize coastal regions the world over. However, that which sets Alexandria apart is not so much conflicts among contemporary resource-users but conflicts between the city of Alexandria today and the city or more precisely cities that Alexandria has been in the past. As it struggles to renew its urban core, to resolve problems of traffic and to house its burgeoning population, Alexandria is everywhere confronted and confounded by the archaeological remains of its remarkable past.

Extractions: Do you dig ships? Sunken ships. To some, the words call to mind pirates' gold and jewels. But to underwater archaeologists, the discovery of a long-lost vessel can bring an intellectual treasure - insights into the lives of people that lived hundreds or thousands of years ago. Once, only ships sunk in the shallowest of seas were accessible to treasure hunters or scientists. But now, new technology is making underwater exploration in deeper water possible, opening up new areas of the world's waters to archaeological investigation. On this hour of Science Friday, we'll look at the recent discovery in the Mediterranean of a veritable treasure trove of 8 ships dating from as early as the second century B.C, talk about the technologies that made the find possible, and take a look at how artifacts wrested from a watery grave may be preserved once brought to the surface.

Extractions: Institute of New Hampshire Studies (INHS): The Serapis Project team, under the auspice of INHS at Plymouth State University, New Hampshire, in conjunction with the Museum of Art and Civilization of the University of Antananarivo, Madagascar, continued preliminary investigations on the presumed site of Serapis. The ship was taken from the British by John Paul Jones during the American Revolution during the famous naval battle with Bonhomme Richard in 1779. This pivotal engagement gave the American cause encouragement during the dark days of the Revolution. The ship ended up in the French navy and was subsequently lost off the coast of Isle Ste. Marie in 1781. The Serapis Project is the first maritime archaeological investigation in the waters of Madagascar. Support for the investigations also came from several governmental sources including Prime Minister Jacques Sylla, Ambassador to the Malagasy Mission of the United Nations Zina Andrianarivelo-Razafy, and President of the Province of Toamasina Emile Tsizaraina. All expressed their support for the project, the inclusion of Malagasy students in the research, and continued research on Isle Ste. Marie to expose Madagascar's unique cultural resources and protect the undersea heritage. The wreck site was originally located in 1999 by Dick Swete. During the latter part of May 2004, a dive team returned to Isle Ste. Marie in order to define the site parameters. Under the direction of Michael Tuttle, the American field crew consisted of Michael Krivor, Greg Cook, Norine Carroll, and Kelly Bumpass. Dr. Jean-Aime Rakotoarisoa of the University of Antananarivo was met in Tamatave prior to the field work to coordinate the project efforts with the local authorities. Additionally Dr. Rakotoarisoa visited Ste. Marie to aid in the field investigations and examined potential facilities for a future museum display site. Local hoteliers and entrepreneurs Henri Bellon and Xavier Pene provided the survey crew with accommodations and all dive related materials for the project.
Caesarea/Marine Archaeology/Ancient Harbor COMBINED CAESAREA EXPEDITIONS underwater Excavations of Sebastos King Herod sHarbor. 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: Tel Shiqmona, a Coastal Site on the Eastern Mediterranean The author records GPS data on the nearshore coastal zone in Haifa, Israel. Tel Shiqmona is an Eastern Mediterranean coastal site where human activity is dated from the Late Bronze Age, more than 3,500 years ago. The site is located southwest of the Carmel Cape on the southern tip of Haifa Bay in Israel. The view from Tel Shiqmona on a clear day extends from Atlit to the south to Akko in the north. The elevation and size of the mound, combined with its proximity to the coast, lend to its advantage as a nearshore observation point commanding an extended view in all directions to the sea. However, there are many unanswered questions regarding the reasons for the longevity of Tel Shiqmona as a coastal site of the eastern Mediterranean. Why would the site be located on this coastal perch isolated from the inland trade routes and exposed to the elements of wind and sea? To address this question and others, this study focused specifically on the potential for maritime activity at Tel Shiqmona during the Persian Period (538 B.C.-332 B.C.). The primary goal of this work was to establish the parameters of port capabilities or deficiencies at Tel Shiqmona by examination of the coastal platform and shallow continental shelf using a marine GISArcInfo and ArcView being the primary tools. The second goal was to examine the material ceramic culture of Tel Shiqmona as an indication of maritime trade with coastal sites of the eastern Mediterranean region during the Persian Period. Geostatistical Analyst was an effective tool for analyzing the interpolation of the surface based on point data. This surface was then easily exported to a raster layer to be compared and layered with other features to create the map.

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
