Underwater archaeology had its beginnings as a discipline in the 19th century, when salvers working on shipwrecks and divers seeking sponges occasionally came across ancient material. The advent of modern scuba equipment and the birth of sport diving in the 1950s begat maritime archaeologists (who had scholarly motives) and looters (who didn't). This book deals with aspects of archaeology and the techniques that are used to conduct it in an underwater environment. submerged land structures and research associated with sea level changes.
