The Excavation Of The Uluburun Shipwreck

This chapter shows the trade over the ocean in 1000 ce. The ship was carrying raw materials and goods from all across Asia, containing tin and many more valuable metals.This shows the importance of tin in southeast Asia. Also Tin as a part of another important metal, bronze, was necessary for the production of everyday objects in many areas in Asia. This chapter shows how important metal was at this time and how much of use it was. The maps made it easy to show how Asia connected around other parts of the Asian world."Finally, trade was essential to the everyday practice of culture in the Asian world." [Page 73] this quote shows how trade was good for Asia in bringing it together

Shipwreck at the Bottom of the Worldvividly recreates one of the most extraordinary adventure stories in history. In August 1914, Ernest Shackleton and 27 men sailed from England in an attempt to become the first team of explorers to cross the Antarctic continent from one side to the other. Five months later and still 100 miles from land, their ship,Endurance, became trapped. The expedition survived an Antarctic winter in the icebound ship, then, afterEndurancesank, five months camped on the ice followed by a perilous boat journey through storms and icebergs to remote and unvisited Elephnat Island, 600 miles from Cape Horn. From there, their only hope was for someone to fetch help. In a dramatic climax to this amazing survival story, Shackleton

Science plays a major role in assisting archaeologists and researchers reconstruct the past. In the case of Ötzi, scientific research resulted in magnificent findings and continues to make great finds and extract evidence from the body and the equipment found with it.

An unscrupulous archaeologist by the name of Henirich Hochstetter excavated the Shoen-Tell site in Turkey in the late 1920s. Hochstetter was interested more in antiquities than in data, so he provided little substantive information tot eh professional community about his dig or his findings. However, a conscientious assistant of Hochstetter’s, Roxanne Browne, managed to collect detailed information on fifty of the burials Hochstetter plundered. Her data is

Archaeology is a continuously evolving field where there is a constant stream of new branches and excavation methods. Due to the influx of new technologies and innovations in recent decades, archaeologists have been able to excavate previously inaccessible areas. For example, new diving equipment and tools such as proton magnetometers, side-scan sonar, sub-bottom profiler, and miniature submarines have allowed archaeologists to dive into the deep depths of the ocean. As a result, the branch of underwater archaeology was created to search for shipwrecks and other artifacts on the ocean floor. Underwater archaeology’s role has increased in recent years as it allows archaeologists to more accurately interpret the past by supplementing

Recently, along the Nebulosas Chain, a string of islands which boasts a dense fog and extraordinary marine life and dots across the the Oceanus Tempestatus from the Digitus Peninsula of Illysium to the shores of Obscurata, four excavations have been undertaken in a bid by Illysium to claim ownership over the isles. While ownership may be impossible for archaeologists to prove, the recovered artifacts and faunal assemblage suggest a strong relationship between subsistence practices and changes in tool technology. Based upon the radiocarbon dates, the absolute date of the volcanic eruption at 3870 ± 40 B.P. as well as the recovered tool kits, I have distinguished between three separate prehistoric periods based upon tool technology:

The authors said there were signs of human activities in the caves and that there are more archaeological work that need to be done.

In 1982, the Ulu Burun shipwreck was discovered off the coast of Ulu Burun, near the modern city of Kas, Turkey. This fifty-foot long trading vessel was sank under the Mediterranean Sea. The discovery of preserved raw materials and finished goods in the wreck ship revealed the vast trade routes among seven different ancient civilizations and the significance of network and distribution of commodities during the Late Bronze Age by deciphering the clues of preserved artifacts; therefore, archaeologists should explore more of the ocean in order to accurately answer the questions about the past.

Tomb 10A was discovered near the Nile River in a region known as Deir el-Bersha (The Secrets of Tomb 10A: Egypt 2000 BC 2009). It is the 4,000 year old resting place of a governor and his wife, both of whom ruled during the 11th or 12th dynasty and are named Djehutynakht. After the tomb was excavated in 1915 by archaeologists from Harvard University and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (MFA), it was clear that what they had found was a consummate archetype of traditional Egyptian burial practices. One of the many grave goods found in the Djehutynakhts’ tomb was a fleet of 58 wooden model boats, which is the largest collection of model boats ever discovered in an Egyptian burial (Gansicke 2003: 185).

The Narrabeen man body was discovered in North of Sydney, Octavia Street and Ocean street near a bus shelter. His body wasn’t well preserved because the sand was quite warm and also his body was under the sand for 4000 years.

Did you know that the Dead Sea Scrolls also known as the greatest archaeological discovery of the 20th century were discovered in 1946? The Dead Sea Scrolls are Hebrew and are very interesting to study because of the vest history included. The Scrolls are important because you can see what the Hebrews were writing about around 100 BC and possibly why the Scrolls were being written.

Ayer’s Rock, also know as Uluru to the Aboriginees that have inhabited the area for more than 10,000 years, is a landmark that brings floods of tourists to the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (About Ayer’s Rock). This land is sacred to the Aboriginees, and much like American’s demand respect for their Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Aboriginees demand respect for this sacred ground, and rightfully so. Culturally, they are not to touch, stand, or climb on it. Westerners sought to reach the colorful rock formations and do just those things. It is utterly disrespectful for Westerners to tarnish the sacredness of the land.

A starship is on its way to populate the New World, because Earth was destroyed by a colossal catastrophe. The ship originally could sustain thirteen colonists; unfortunately, the ship was damaged and now can only sustain five colonists of the thirteen. The colonists who should stay of the ship and survive, need to be the colonists with the most importance and essential experience for traveling to a New World. Even though the New World could provide a variety of different outcomes, the colonists who should survive need to be the ones who would provide the most safety precautions in certain situations.

The focus of this research paper is to analyze the information, unique characteristics, and history regarding the subculture of scuba divers. Scuba divers get to explore new, exciting, and breathtaking regions in the ocean that many people never get to experience in their whole lives. Scuba divers hold important roles in society because of the discoveries they make on a daily basis. They provide much needed research that is important in the scientific community regarding newly discovered marine species. Scuba divers get the opportunity to explore exceptionally beautiful ocean features that include shipwrecks, coral reefs, and other stunning tropical ocean regions. Many people find scuba diving an enjoyable leisure activity to be involved

Forty-six years later, May 8, 1991, a computer-controlled submarine scanned the ocean floor for sunken galleons. On this day, the crew of the Deep Sea would be unsuccessful in their search for galleons. Instead, 750 feet below the surface of the ocean, they would discover the outline of an
