Encyclopedia of Underwater and Maritime
Archaeology
by James P. Delgado
The Encyclopedia
of Underwater and Maritime Archaeology is the first
comprehensive reference book on the discovery and recovery of
the submerged past. From shipwrecks to drowned cities,
spectacular underwater discoveries often reveal much about our
history. Archaeologists working in the deep ocean, in lakes
and rivers, and on buried waterfronts in the heart of the
world's great cities encounter substantial remains of ships
and seafaring ritual deposits or the drowned cities of ancient
settlements almost daily. |

Details:
Written by archaeologists and other
scientists who have made the discoveries, the encyclopedia's entries describe
sites around the world and across time: prehistoric American Indian settlements;
submerged Bronze and Iron Age settlements; sunken Phoenician, Greek, and Roman
cities and harbors; Viking ship burials; ancient warships and merchant craft in
the Mediterranean; warships sunk during atomic bomb tests; and much more.
Detailed entries also cover new fields of research in underwater and maritime
archaeology, the techniques and tools used by underwater archaeologists, ethical
issues and the relevant legislation that has been passed, and important
institutions and individuals. Overview articles examine work in broader
regional, national, and scientific contexts.
Extensively illustrated and easy to
read, cross-indexed, and written by an international team of
experts, the Encyclopedia of Underwater and Maritime
Archaeology will be the standard reference work on the subject
for years to come.
