Underwater time capsules Early Beginnings For the archaeologist on land, the main dangers come from land developers. The marine archaeologist, however, must beware of the sea as they try to preserve shipwrecks from the pounding waves. Each fragile wreck is a unique time capsule of our past: encrusted cannons, ancient wine bottles and other historical treasures. Treasures that the sea is loath to give up. This is the story of underwater archaeology... Underwater time capsules Those involved in a shipwreck may lose everything in the catastrophe, including perhaps their lives. But the remains of sunken vessels and their contents, even if broken up and scattered, provide future generations with unique windows into the past. Each site represents a moment frozen in time, and every item recovered from it is part of a vast three-dimensional archaeological jigsaw. Archaeologists know they can never complete it, but by analysing the evidence they find, and fitting it into the jigsaw's framework, they come ever closer to their goal of constructing a true picture of the ship before it became a wreck. Each has a special story to tell, and is therefore a fragile and irreplaceable microcosm of its times. Top Early Beginnings: Diving on sunken ships has happened throughout history. Alexander the Great is reputed to have gone down in a diving bell, while Roman urinatores (free divers) apparently salvaged cargo from a wreck 20m deep off the south of France.

WORLD Underwater Museum In Dwarka Yet To Surface FROM VNN FORUMS
The proposal for the museum, submitted by the Marine Archeology Center of the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) in Goa, involves laying a submarine acrylic tube through which visitors can view through glass windows the ruins of the city said to have been be ruled by Sri Krishna, 3,500 years ago. An alternative suggestion is to have acrylic wells, to be accessed through boats, from which the remains can be viewed.
Another proposal that remains on paper is for setting up a marine archeology museum of Dwarka antiquities found in the sea.
Discovered in 1981, the well-fortified township of Dwarka extended more than half a mile from the shore and was built in six sectors along the banks of a river before it became submerged. The findings are of immense cultural and religious importance to India.
"The search for the lost city has been going on since 1930," S. R. Rao, former adviser to the NIO who is still actively involved in the excavations, told India Abroad. "It is only after marine archaeologists started exploring the seabed near modem Dwarka from 1981 that the structural remains of the city were found."
Rao said that if a fraction of the funds spent on land archeology were made available for under-water archaeology, more light could be thrown on Dwarka, which had much archeological significance because it was built during the second urbanization that occurred in India after the Indus Valley civilization in northwestern India. Dwarka's existence disproves the belief held by Western archeologists that there was no urbanization in the Indian subcontinent from the period between 1700 B.C. (Indus Valley) and 550 B.C. (advent of Buddhism). As no information was available about that period, they had labeled it the Dark Period.

DameDykker 01-10-2001, 01:03 AM I've been chating about an old wreck (1677) on my intro thread. That just made me wonder if there is anybody else interested in marine archeology?
I like and have worked on old wooden ships but my main interest in that area is the stone age sites. Here (Denmark) they are in 1-8 m of water and they are all over the place. It is a very special feeling to hold a 8000 year old flint (chert) knife in your hand and know that nobody else probably touched it all those years. Also the finds are making a real contribution to our knowledge of our far ancestor.
As you can see I'm all excited about this :bounce: What about you? DivingGal 01-10-2001, 01:36 AM Finding out about the "old" stuff down below is very great. I belong to a group - Save Ontario Shipwrecks - made up of a number of people with a similar fascination. In the area where I dive there are over 200 wrecks (new and old - though not 8000 years), so lots to choose from. DameDykker 01-10-2001, 02:25 AM

http://www.acuaonline.org/education.html
The ACUA is often called upon to provide information on educational opportunities and on organizations specific to underwater archaeology. There are more than 15 universities world wide that now offer degrees in underwater archaeology and their numbers are growing. The number of international organizations that focus on or support the study, management, and conservation of underwater cultural heritage is also rapidly increasing. Although they take many forms, all are committed to increasing public awareness of these important reminders of our shared past. The links on this page were selected to help you quickly find the information you need. Education
Career opportunities in underwater archeology are steadily increasing. One reason is that our awareness of the cultural heritage value of these resources is increasing worldwide. Another is that underwater archaeologists are able to make unique contributions to our understanding of the past. Most jobs with career-advancement potential require a master’s degree, although some are available for those with a bachelor’s degree.

As evidenced by archeological documents, the ancient city of Kish, the wall of the ancient city of Gorgan, Takht-e Suleiman and part of the Portuguese Castle are submerged in Iran's coastal waters. Although Iran's underwater archeological activities are over half a century old, this topic is yet to be treated in a suitable manner.
Two centuries have passed and archeology has yet to achieve its rightful position in Iran. This science needs full revision, as Iran has special importance in human civilization and its role in establishing other cultures inspired by its civilization is undisputed. For this reason, Iran Cultural Heritage Organization (ICHO) is not able to take charge of many historical grounds. Dissemination of information is so poor that many in our society still consider archaeologists as treasure hunters! On the other hand, Iranian archaeologists are deprived of the most elementary facilities, with credits being allocated to field activities being grossly disproportionate with the vast expanse of historical sites.
Information obtained during 23 years of explorations has not yet been published and it seems they are going to become as ancient as the archeological relics themselves! Also, the wide gap between academic archeological centers and the executive bodies has damaged educational fundaments and prevented archeology from being divided into specialist subgroups. Therefore, after five decades of underwater archeological activities, Iran Cultural Heritage Organization has only recently decided to form such subgroups. These so called "subgroups" often have so few members that it brings into doubt whether they could be called a group at all. But all problems aside, the following is the result of a research on underwater archeology in Iran.

November/December 1964 Volume 15, Number 6 November/December 1964
Volume 15, Number 6 Diggings In The Deep Written by Honor Frost On land, it is conceivable that an energetic archeologist could excavate a whole village in a year or two, if provided with an adequate number of trained workers to assist him. In contrast, it may take years merely to raise the cargo from the wreck of a single ancient sailing ship, leaving aside the all-important task of recording the positional relationships between the objects raised. For underwater, both the number of divers that can work on a single site, and the time they may remain submerged, is severely limited. The excavation of a Roman ship that sank off Grand Congloue island near Marseilles, France, illustrates the frustrations of the underwater archeologist fighting the clock. This was the first ancient wreck to be salvaged by free divers only, i.e., divers breathing from compressed-air tanks strapped to their backs instead of receiving air from the surface through hoses. The campaign lasted eight years, yet at the end of that time a good deal of the cargo and hull remained fast on the bottom. Captain Cousteau's team of divers had worked constantly, but because the wreck lay at a depth of nearly 150 feet, no diver could spend more than a total of half an hour a day under the pressures found at the bottom. His first dive lasted about 20 minutes; then he had to wait at least six hours before making his second and final dive of the day, lasting a mere 10 minutes.
