Saudi Aramco World : Diggings In The Deep are inconclusive, controlled techniques of (underwater) excavation are not being developedthough barely out of its teens, marine archeology looks confidently http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/196406/diggings.in.the.deep.htm
Extractions: Volume 15, Number 6 Diggings In The Deep Written by Honor Frost On land, it is conceivable that an energetic archeologist could excavate a whole village in a year or two, if provided with an adequate number of trained workers to assist him. In contrast, it may take years merely to raise the cargo from the wreck of a single ancient sailing ship, leaving aside the all-important task of recording the positional relationships between the objects raised. For underwater, both the number of divers that can work on a single site, and the time they may remain submerged, is severely limited. The excavation of a Roman ship that sank off Grand Congloue island near Marseilles, France, illustrates the frustrations of the underwater archeologist fighting the clock. This was the first ancient wreck to be salvaged by free divers only, i.e., divers breathing from compressed-air tanks strapped to their backs instead of receiving air from the surface through hoses. The campaign lasted eight years, yet at the end of that time a good deal of the cargo and hull remained fast on the bottom. Captain Cousteau's team of divers had worked constantly, but because the wreck lay at a depth of nearly 150 feet, no diver could spend more than a total of half an hour a day under the pressures found at the bottom. His first dive lasted about 20 minutes; then he had to wait at least six hours before making his second and final dive of the day, lasting a mere 10 minutes.

Extractions: Volume 49, Number 3 The Last Port of Call Written and photographed by Donald Frey Aramco World, As excavation of the Bronze Age ship at Cape Gelidonya progressed (See Aramco World, May/June 1993), George Bass needed a place to store the artifacts that had been recovered and preserved. The castle was unused, and journalist and diver Peter Throckmorton had already created a display, on the floor of its Italian Tower, of a selection of amphoras and broken pottery he had collected. At Bass's urging, the authorities in Ankara agreed to make the castle's refectory a display hall for the Gelidonya artifacts. With this small beginning, the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archeology came into being. Aramco World, July/August 1984.) Bass's teams never excavated without a government archeologist-commissioner on site who recorded the dig's daily activities to make sure that the best scientific practices were followed. Unlike the score of other binational investigations under way in Turkey in any given year, however, Bass's lay 27 to 55 meters (90-180') underwater! To monitor his sites, the commissioners appointed had to be divers as well as archeologists.

Extractions: Excavating the Bible: Fascinating Archeological Revelations Over the past century what was once taken as hard fact regarding people, places and events in the Bible are now being disputed. Today the Bible is being challenged as an accurate reflection of history, the events written on her pages being seen more as a collection of legends, written long after the time traditionally attributed to Biblical events. Biblical archeologists have come to the Holy Land with the hope of finding clues to unravel perplexing questions about events in the Bible, which conceal a potential storehouse of archeological finds, whose discovery could change the way we look at the Bible. Myth or reality, fact or fiction? Through the excavations at these sites in the Holy Land, archeologists hope to shed light on this disputed issue resolving conflicts between the Bible scholars and historical scientists. Tape 1: Deciphering the Dead Sea Scrolls: This film attempts to solve the mystery surrounding what has been hailed as the most important find of the 20 th century the Dead Sea Scrolls. Found fifty years ago in Qumrun, the scrolls shed some light concerning our understanding of the Old Testament, but are a continuous source of intrigue and controversy regarding every other issue associated with them. Vigorously debated by scholars, religious leaders and archeologists concerning the Essenes and references made to Jesus and John the Baptist in the scrolls as well as remarkable parallels between the writings found and the Old and New Testaments will be presented. The program will also reveal the basis for assertions made by Monteguey Allegro about the concealment of large portions of the writings due to information they contain which could threaten the foundations of Judeo-Christian beliefs and history.

NPR - Radio Expeditions: Underwater Excavation At Gray's Reef National marine Sanctuary is the first of its kind off US shores. Nowhere elsein US waters have scientists conducted such extensive (underwater) archeology. http://www.npr.org/programs/re/archivesdate/1997/aug/19970825.grays.html
Extractions: August 25, 1997 Seventeen miles off the Georgia coast and 58 feet below the waters surface lies a 17.5 square mile marine protected area with limestone and sandstone rock ledges known as Gray's reef. The reef and its surrounding waters became part of the National Marine Sanctuary Program in January of 1981. As a habitat, this sanctuary is unlike other reef sites in the program because it is not a tropical coral reef but a live-bottom rock reef. However, the biology of this sanctuary is not the only thing that sets it apart from other sanctuaries in the program. Grays Reef National Marine Sanctuary is unique because of the wealth of information scientists have gathered from its reef. It has yielded clues to what life was like thousands of years ago. This "paleo-environment" shows that 12,000 years ago the area was dry landan ice age gripped the Earth, water was frozen in glaciers, and the oceans shrank. When the earth warmed up land masses once again became submerged and water covered the area that is now Gray's reef.

NOVA Online | Voyage Of Doom | Who Owns Lost Ships? (2) This is true of most excavations by salvors, says Toni Carrell, a marine archeologistwho chairs the Advisory Council for (underwater) archeology. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/lasalle/owners2.html
Extractions: Salvage vs science The Central America decision irked many marine archeologists, who pointed out that not a single archeological report has come out of the operation. This is true of most excavations by salvors, says Toni Carrell, a marine archeologist who chairs the Advisory Council for Underwater Archeology. "If the proof of the pudding is in the eating, the proof of good archeological work is published results," she says. "But where are the reports? Where are the results?" The only salvor's report that has even slightly approached a real archeological summary, she says, was one published on a wreck salvaged off Saipan. The goals of research and archeology simply differ too greatly from those of commerical exploitation. "We archeologists know we must go slowly, while salvors must work quickly, because they've got investors backing them who want to see a return through the sale of artifacts," she says. For her part, Carrell sees no room for compromise: "There's no way that archeologists and commercial treasure salvors can work together. When the driving motivation is profit rather than knowledge, archeology always suffers."

Extractions: Bronze man from Croatia A group of experts recently presented their evaluation of the bronze statue which was removed from the Adriatic sea-floor several weeks ago near the island of Loinj. They also suggested measures for its preservation and protection. Experts gathered in the Croatian Ministry of Culture to discuss the condition and measures that should be taken in order to protect and adequately present the major archeological discovery of an ancient bronze statue of an athlete, which was recently found in the waters off the island of Loinj. The statue has been dubbed the "Bronze Man" of Croatia. It is highly probable that the statue depicts the athlete Apoxyomenos rubbing off oil and dust from his body with a scraper. An archeological diving team of the Cultural Heritage Preservation Administration, a part of the Ministry of Culture, in cooperation with Croatian Interior Ministry divers, removed the statue from under 44 meters deep sea, where it ended up after a shipwreck. Foreign partners, research sponsors and representatives of Oxford Maritime Limited were also present during this complicated operation. "Since this is the first time that such a conservatory operation is taking place in Croatia, we formed a commission which will evaluate the condition of the statue and make suggestions for a preservation program," said Miljenko Domijan, the assistant culture minister in charge of the Cultural Heritage Preservation Administration. In addition to local conservationists from the Croatian Restoration Institute and the Ru?er Bokovia Institute, top world experts William Oddy of the British Museum and Giuliano Tordi of the eminent Opificio delle pietre dure restoration institute in Florence were also invited. The final procedure of the conservation (after moving the statue) will take place in the Zadar Archeological Museum, which was placed in charge of the project called "The Statue and the Shipwreck."

He's already pinpointed about a dozen wrecks, most recently the Russalka, Russia's first armoured naval ship, which went down nose-first between Estonia and Finland in an 1893 storm and rammed itself into the seabed like an enormous sword.
