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: Far below the oceans surface, resting on the seabed off the Portuguese coast are Spanish, Portuguese, and British ships that sank during the Age of Exploration. Through the years, this graveyard of ships has survived relatively untouched, and may now provide rich opportunities for archeological discovery. Until the recent advent of underwater technology, these historically significant sites have been unavailable for identification and study. The Age of Exploration (15th-18th centuries) is a period of great adventure and discovery, where people traveled across the oceans in search of new lands, treasures, goods and trade routes. The story of the ill-fated Cinque Chagas is only one of hundreds of shipwrecks recorded along the Portuguese coasts. The ship set sail for Portugal from the East Indies, carrying a kings ransom in gold, silver, and jewels. Also on board were Italian and Portuguese merchants with their own goods, and the abandoned cargoes of two other ships that wrecked off the African coast. Overloaded with cargo and passengers, with disease and starvation rampant throughout the ship, she sailed into the Azores to replenish her stock, ignoring the warnings of the dangers of pirates and renegade vessels that awaited her The next morning she fell under attack from three British ships. The battle raged on for two days until finally, with her decks ablaze, a violent explosion sent the Chagas and her valuable cargo to the bottom of the sea. Now, a new Age of Exploration is resuming far beneath the ocean's surface.

Florida's Underwater Archaeological Preserves system of underwater parks featuring marine life that make the parks living museums in the sea. Each site is interpreted by an underwater and laminated underwater guides are http://dhr.dos.state.fl.us/bar/uap
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.

Exploring Minds - Merck Frosst to a floating deck secured with underwater cables attached four concrete blocks surroundingthe archeological site 2) resistance to waves and marine currents; 3 http://www.exploringminds.ca/e/featuring_science_fair/qp_eau_fond.html
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.
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: Home Page Survey Ognina '98 Archeology Ognina '96 (Syracuse) Immediately westward of the harbour of Ognina, a very vast shoal, that goes up from the - 30 m. up to the - 3 m, had created many problems to the ancient navigation. 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:

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.
