Submerged Prehistoric Sites

Submerged prehistoric sites are ancient land areas now covered by water due to rising sea levels or land subsidence. These sites include tools, bones, and structures left by early humans or animals, preserved beneath lakes, seas, or oceans. Studying these submerged sites helps scientists understand early human activity, migration patterns, and environmental changes over thousands of years. Advances in underwater archaeology enable exploration and excavation of these sites, offering valuable insights into our distant past that would otherwise be hidden beneath the water.
