submerged sites

Submerged sites refer to archaeological locations that are underwater, often due to rising sea levels, natural disasters, or changes in land formations over time. These sites can include ancient cities, shipwrecks, or settlements that provide valuable insights into past human activities and cultures. Researchers use advanced technology like sonar and underwater excavation to explore these areas. Studying submerged sites helps us understand historical societies, the effects of climate change, and the evolution of landscapes, offering a unique perspective on human history that is often hidden beneath the waves.
