Underwater archaeology

Archaeology, has its roots in antiquarianism in the 18th-century in Europe. In the 19th to 20th under the stewardship of scholars like William Petrie, the discipline of archaeology began to take shape. Evolving from a hobbyist movement to full-fledged discipline. Somewhere along the line modern archaeology diverges into two paths. In north America, archaeology became a sub-discipline of anthropology while in Europe it became a sub-discipline of history. Each hold a claim to have archaeology under

The salary vary’s for an underwater archaeologist. The lower-level technicians get paid about $30,000 and the higher-level technicians get paid about $90,000 for management and academic positions. The payment mainly depends on your level of education, training, experience, and location. Underwater archaeologist deals with site found below the surfaces of the oceans, rivers and lakes. They study submerged aboriginal sites such as fish and middens. Underwater archaeological work is more complex than

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

waiting to be solved and answered. Archaeology studies the ancient human past through the excavation of sites and the analysis of artifacts and other physical remains. In fact, archaeology is the tool that decipher the clues that are found through its continuous development of excavation and methods. The advance of new technologies in recent decades enable archaeologists to excavate previously unapproachable areas, such as underwater. The underwater archaeology is developed in order to discover the

morning dive. In the Bay of Antalya in the Mediterranean Sea near the city of Kas, the diver took a boat not too far off shore. During his dive, he found what he described as “metal biscuits with ears” and reported them to the Institute of Nautical Archaeology in Kas. The INA then sent a team to the shoreline to discover what would end up being the Uluburun, the oldest shipwreck ever excavated. The site of the Uluburun shipwreck is just 50 meters (160 feet) off the eastern shore of Uluburun, and 6 miles

At first glance, the study of archaeology may be perceived as the study of ancient artifacts, discovering tombs, or even just treasure hunting. However, archaeology has very large impacts in the world today. Firstly, archaeology is vastly important because it is very relevant to how we understand human history today. The study of archeology is not just important because it contributes to museums and writes history books. Without the work, projects, and excavations conducted by archeologists, we would

There are several ways to interpret for the variability in archaeological data in the Pitts River Basin of northwestern Australia, but first, the history and the archaeology must be exhibited. The entire site used to be underwater because the ocean levels had not stabilized 5000 years ago, so a lot of artifacts surfaced once the levels stabilized and the land dried up. In the basin, there were two types of people who were very contemporary. This is suggested by knowing that hunters and gatherers

read and interpret. However, with these returned waves understood properly, much information can be discovered without ever compromising the site. Side-scan sonar is a similar application for an entirely different kind of archaeological site: underwater. SSS uses sonar pulses aimed at the bottom of any body of water and the reflections of these

Time and Chronology in Archaeology Why is it important for archaeologists to establish chronologies and what are the strengths and weaknesses of absolute and relative dating methods in their establishment? By Liam Cornish In this essay will discuss what chronologies are and why they are extremely important to archaeology. It will also discuss the different types of chronologies as well as the varying methods of establishing them. Time can be determined in different ways, absolutely and relatively

The final article is “Negotiation, Game Theory and Cultural Resource Management” presented by K. M. Sullivan in 1986. This paper is about game theory and negotiation processes. It refers specifically to the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service's approach to cultural resource management. It has implications for academic researchers in dealings with Aboriginal people. In New South Wales where environmental impact assessment is required, the Service has the right to require archaeological
