Indian Ocean Maritime Archaeology Project

The Indian Ocean Maritime Archaeology Project (IOMAP) is an initiative that explores and studies the rich maritime history of the Indian Ocean region. It focuses on uncovering shipwrecks, ancient trade routes, and coastal settlements to better understand how cultures interacted and traded over the centuries. By using advanced technology like underwater surveys and archaeological methods, researchers aim to reveal the historical significance of maritime activities in connecting different civilizations, shaping economies, and influencing cultures throughout the Indian Ocean basin. This project enhances our understanding of global history and heritage linked to maritime activities.
