UHEXSO Marine Archeology Mission Statement August 1997, INVINCIBLE Expedition, Galveston, Texas UHEXSO divers Rick Kouns and John Hoover hold recovered artifact. Mission Statement The Texas Historical Commission has identified over 2,000 historically significant shipwrecks in Texas waters. UHEXSO's mission is to assist the state of Texas in determining the exact locations and identities of these wrecks. UHEXSO dive teams operate so as to cause the least amount of disturbance possible to archeological sites, recovering artifacts only when necessary to identify a wreck. UHEXSO also strives to adhere to all state and federal guidelines for marine archeology and diving safety. Texas Marine Archeology In the year 2000 UHEXSO hopes to assist the Texas Historical Commission in developing a volunteer marine archeology training program that will ensure the effective use of volunteers now and in the future. It is important that we view ourselves not simply as divers, but also as stewards of our marine heritage so that we can keep volunteer marine archeology viable in Texas. A second goal is to help establish dive sites on selected shipwrecks so that divers can enjoy and explore these treasures. UHEXSO actively seeks partnerships with other volunteer groups and individuals who share these goals. In Texas, there are several other volunteer marine archeology groups, such as the Southwest Underwater Archeological Society ( SUAS ), the Texas Archeological Studies Association (

California History and Marine Archaeology: Working to Preserve Our Heritage California's history is very exciting, made of day-to-day events that start with the Native Americans and continue to this very day. Archaeological resources is the term given to the places and objects that tell us how the people of California lived. Marine archaeology studies those places and objects that tell us how the people of California used the sea. Examples of marine archaeological resources include shipwrecks, prehistoric village sites that are now underwater, objects placed in the ocean by Native Americans during their ceremonies, and cargo lost from the deck of an explorer's ship during a storm. The Minerals Management Service (MMS) works very hard to make sure that archaeological resources are not harmed in the effort to find and develop the oil, natural gas and other minerals on the offshore lands of the United States.

It was 1943 when Jacques-Yves Cousteau made improvements on existing equipment and developed the basis for modern scuba gear. Since then we have reached far in our exploration of the oceans – we now have the technology to film an underwater movie, send submersibles (both manned and unmanned) down to the depths to conduct scientific research, and locate shipwrecks, among other things. Although we have only had a glimpse of our vast oceans, underwater technology is revealing to us a rarely seen but fascinating environment that is a critical part of our world. Last month's Data Tip focused on the Galapagos Islands and provided you with a behind-the-scenes look at the filming of the IMAX movie, 'Galapagos'. The making of an IMAX film is no small feat. The cameras are enormous (see article photo), and the technology required to move the operation underwater is impressive. The filming of 'Galapagos' was accomplished with the help of both scuba divers and submersibles.

The raising of the Tudor warship, the 'Mary Rose' after centuries on the seabed. Underwater time capsules Early Beginnings For the archaeologist on land, the main dangers come from land developers. The marine archaeologist, however, must beware of the sea as they try to preserve shipwrecks from the pounding waves. Each fragile wreck is a unique time capsule of our past: encrusted cannons, ancient wine bottles and other historical treasures. Treasures that the sea is loath to give up. This is the story of underwater archaeology... Underwater time capsules Those involved in a shipwreck may lose everything in the catastrophe, including perhaps their lives. But the remains of sunken vessels and their contents, even if broken up and scattered, provide future generations with unique windows into the past. Each site represents a moment frozen in time, and every item recovered from it is part of a vast three-dimensional archaeological jigsaw. Archaeologists know they can never complete it, but by analysing the evidence they find, and fitting it into the jigsaw's framework, they come ever closer to their goal of constructing a true picture of the ship before it became a wreck. Each has a special story to tell, and is therefore a fragile and irreplaceable microcosm of its times. Top Early Beginnings: Diving on sunken ships has happened throughout history. Alexander the Great is reputed to have gone down in a diving bell, while Roman urinatores (free divers) apparently salvaged cargo from a wreck 20m deep off the south of France.

A Paradise for Wreck Divers Name That Ship Deep Danger Wreck diving is growing more and more popular in Britain. The thrill is seeing a ship that has lain undisturbed for decades - perhaps even centuries. A chance to explore what has been out of reach for so long. However, there are risks involved with diving. Unseen dangers abound. Then, there are the rules that must be obeyed such as respecting War Graves. Welcome to the world of the diver... A PARADISE FOR WRECK DIVERS More ships have sunk around the coasts of Britain than any other country in the world. The best estimate of the number of ships lost in our coastal waters since man first took to water is over a quarter of a million. Most of these shipwrecks came about by collision, by storm, or by bad navigation. But a great number of merchant ships - 7265 of them British - were added to this total by the torpedoes of German U-boats in the First and Second World Wars. The sheer quantity of wrecks is of course why wreck diving is the most popular activity of Britain's scuba divers. One of the problems that the divers encounter is poor visibility. However, the often poor "viz" ,as divers call the underwater visibility, only adds to their interest in wrecks. The viz in much of Britain's inshore waters can occasionally mean that you can't see your hand in front of your face mask. It is usually approximately about three metres but it is sometimes five. On exceptional days, it is 15 (excellent) and the rare 30 metres (fantastic!).

Excavating the Bible: Marine Archeology - Tel Hazor: Searching for Biblical Proofs Description: 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 have 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. This summer, Professor Ben-Tor of Hebrew University will return to Tel Hazor , where he was a part of the first excavations in the 1950's to explore what he is convinced will be one of the most important Biblical treasures ever unveiled. Archeologists will enter the Canaanite Royal Palace and journey through previously unexplored chambers of this magnificently preserved site. In addition, royal archives that were uncovered at

Science Applications International Corporation Using Technology to Scour Davy Jones' Locker The sea, any marine archeologist (or buccaneer) will tell you, guards its secrets jealously. First, one must locate a shipwreck and its associated artifacts. Once found, wrecks must be mapped and explored, and artifacts must be retrieved with extreme care. Some lost articles, when exposed to the air after resting safely in the abyss for hundreds or thousands of years, can turn to mush before you can growl "Look lively there, ye lubbers!" Finding soggy shipwrecks has gotten easier over the past fifty years. With the advent and refinement of scuba technology, they've come within easy reach of marine archeologists and of sport and commercial divers who enjoy a good wreck as much as the next swab. It has also helped modern-day scoundrels who, like the pirates of olde, think nothing of pocketing anything that's not nailed down, and even artifacts that are. How has technology expanded the archeologist's reach to ever deeper waters?

We respectfully submit the following comments on the Draft UNESCO Convention On Underwater Cultural Heritage. The proposed treaty essentially deals with shipwreck management on a colossal scale, as almost all underwater cultural resources (as defined) in a state's territorial or continental zone would be shipwrecks with few exceptions. The draft treaty assumes that any shipwreck over 100 years old is "underwater cultural heritage" and even allows a state to claim a 25 year old shipwreck as underwater cultural heritage within 200 miles of it ocean borders or anywhere on the adjacent continental shelf, which could be more than 200 miles. It is interesting to note that Congress rejected the extension of shipwreck legislation into the EEZ a few year back, and this proposal may be a move to circumnavigate the will of Congress.
