Submarine Archaeology

Submarine archaeology is the study of underwater sites and artifacts related to human history. This field involves examining shipwrecks, ancient coastal settlements, and submerged cultural landscapes. Archaeologists use specialized equipment and techniques, such as scuba diving and remote-operated vehicles, to explore and document these underwater locations. The goal is to uncover and preserve historical evidence, providing insights into past societies, trade routes, and technologies. By analyzing these finds, researchers can better understand human interactions with the sea and the impact of natural events and human activities on maritime cultures throughout history.
