Deep-sea archaeology

Deep-sea archaeology is the study of human history found underwater, typically focusing on shipwrecks, submerged cities, and artifacts that have been lost in oceans, lakes, or rivers. It combines techniques from archaeology, marine science, and technology such as submersibles and underwater drones. By exploring these underwater sites, archaeologists uncover valuable insights into past cultures, trade routes, and maritime practices. This field not only helps preserve historical artifacts but also enhances our understanding of how humanity has interacted with waterways throughout history.
