Extractions: pdf format (579kb) or MS Word format (47mb, very large) In 1987, Florida began to develop a statewide system of underwater parks featuring shipwrecks and other historic sites. The shipwreck preserves have become popular attractions for skin and scuba diving visitors to witness a part of Florida's history first-hand. They contain not only interesting archaeological features, but also an abundance of marine life that make the parks living museums in the sea. Each site is interpreted by an underwater plaque; a brochure and laminated underwater guides are available from local dive shops. The parks are open to the public year round, free of charge. There are nine parks at present, and several others under development. If, in the course of your underwater explorations, you find a site that might be a potential candidate for a new Underwater Archaeological Preserve, you are encouraged to nominate it for consideration. The Bureau of Archaeological Research invites nominations for new underwater preserves throughout the State of Florida, whether located in inland waters, or offshore within Florida's territorial waters. A preserve should have public access, favorable diving conditions, and interesting cultural and natural site features. If selected, a site may then be designated as a preserve through a cooperative project between government and the public. The development of a new park is an excellent opportunity for a diving group to become involved in an underwater project with lasting results.

Underwater Archaeology (underwater) archeology. In the 1960s, with increased public interest in (underwater) archaeology, the National Park with Florida State University's (underwater) archaeology program http://www.cr.nps.gov/seac/underh2o.htm
Extractions: Underwater Archeology In the 1960s, with increased public interest in underwater archaeology, the National Park Service began a program to investigate and protect significant shipwrecks and other submerged resources in the national park system. As the awareness of the richness and importance of these submerged resources increased among park managers, this activity accelerated, culminating in the creation of a formal program in 1972. The Southeast Archaeological Center (SEAC) was originally chosen to initiate the program due to its proximity to coastal parks and because of its established partnership with Florida State University's underwater archaeology program Today, SEAC continues to conduct shipwreck investigations in conjunction with FSU's underwater archaeology program. These cooperating activities include field schools on sites such as HMS Fowey (lost in 1748), Nuestra Senora del Populo , and Nuestra Senora del Rosario . The majority of underwater work in national parks is carried out by the NPS Submerged Cultural Resources Unit , based in Sante Fe, New Mexico.

Extractions: Venture to underwater archeological sites off the shores of ancient Canaan and witness archaic artifacts that have been preserved by water for over 1000 years. Treasures such as remains of an ancient boat from the advanced Phoenician society (who greatly influenced written language and may have reached the Americas 2,000 years before Columbus) are among the many underwater discoveries. The magical qualities of water has preserved what would have otherwise been destroyed by the winds of time. Witness these preserved relics as we investigate the waters of the Holy Land. Tel Hazor in the Galilee, dating back to the Old Testament, is the world's largest Biblical archeological site containing artifacts that date back to the beginning of the 3rd millennium B.C. during the Bronze Age.

VNN World - Underwater Museum In Dwarka Yet To Surface India Abroad News Service BANGALORE Nearly two decades after marine archeologistsfound the on a proposal to establish the world s first (underwater) museum to http://www.vnn.org/world/WD9902/WD13-3039.html
Extractions: The proposal for the museum, submitted by the Marine Archeology Center of the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) in Goa, involves laying a submarine acrylic tube through which visitors can view through glass windows the ruins of the city said to have been be ruled by Sri Krishna, 3,500 years ago. An alternative suggestion is to have acrylic wells, to be accessed through boats, from which the remains can be viewed. "The search for the lost city has been going on since 1930," S. R. Rao, former adviser to the NIO who is still actively involved in the excavations, told India Abroad. "It is only after marine archaeologists started exploring the seabed near modem Dwarka from 1981 that the structural remains of the city were found." Rao said that if a fraction of the funds spent on land archeology were made available for under-water archaeology, more light could be thrown on Dwarka, which had much archeological significance because it was built during the second urbanization that occurred in India after the Indus Valley civilization in northwestern India. Dwarka's existence disproves the belief held by Western archeologists that there was no urbanization in the Indian subcontinent from the period between 1700 B.C. (Indus Valley) and 550 B.C. (advent of Buddhism). As no information was available about that period, they had labeled it the Dark Period.

Extractions: When we decided to participate in the Science Fair, we resolved to find an original project in a field that was unfamiliar to us. By pure coincidence, we learned that Robert Grenier, a renowned underwater archeologist with Parks Canada, was on hand. Fascinated by his writings about deep-sea diving expeditions in search of historical shipwrecks, we plunged into the fascinating world of underwater exploration. Our discussions with Robert Grenier enabled us to pinpoint a problem in underwater archeology that requires some attention. Although seemingly banal at first, the problem poses a real challenge to divers studying shipwrecks: finding a way to shed sufficient daylight in the muddy waters to enable divers at the archeological site to work comfortably. Divers are often obliged to work in partial or total darkness, relying exclusively on their sense of touch to conduct their searches.

Extractions: Winter Undeterred British Family Joins University Underwater Dig; Ancient Ship Revealed There were two surprises that marked the University of Haifa-sponsored archeological excavation in the laguna of Tantura, on Israels Mediterranean coast just south of Haifa this past season. One surprise was that the marine archeologists uncovered three shipwrecks, one of which may have lain on the bottom for more than a thousand years. The second surprise was the participation of the Brandon family of London in the underwater excavations. Chris Brandon, a well-known English architect, his wife Jane, and their children Kitty (Katherina) and Jamie (James) were undeterred by Israels security situation to join the expedition this year. There were only five other volunteers. In past years, the Universitys archeological projects had attracted scores of volunteers from the U.S. and Europe. A good part of the body of the oldest of the three ships revealed remained. University archeologists have temporarily dated the vessel to the Byzantine period, pending a more exacting determination of the date of the wreckage. Fifteen hundred-year-old ropes and a lot of pottery survived also.

Of the numerous shipwreck provoked by the shoal, that was surely in past more emerged, clear signs remain in the fragments of the amphoras transported by the ships that, on routs from west were sunk trying to reenter in the harbour. The depth of the Shoal of Ognina are studied from more than 30 years, the degree of fragmentation produced on the ceramic materials by the work of the tides complicate the job of the researchers a lot. In the survey on the Shoal of Ognina worked together the divers of the Syracuse Divers Club and of the DEGUWA (Deutsche Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Unterwasserarchäologie e. V), directed by the Prof. Hanz G. Martin of the Freie Universität in Berlin, in the months of July and August ' 96. The two associations came to an agreement of collaboration putting men and experiences in common, in sight of the future jobs, not only in Ognina but also in other underwater yards. The jobs of prospecting and recovery have been developed from German, Dutch and Italian young divers, a big part of them was students of archeology:
