the Submerged Prehistoric Archaeology

Submerged Prehistoric Archaeology studies ancient human settlements and artifacts that lie underwater, often due to rising sea levels and changes in climate over thousands of years. These submerged sites, found off coastlines or in river valleys, offer valuable insights into early human life, including how people adapted to their environments. By exploring these underwater locations, archaeologists uncover tools, structures, and other evidence that help us understand prehistoric cultures, their migrations, and interactions with nature. This field combines underwater exploration techniques with archaeological methods to piece together our distant past.
