This book presents an overview of the exciting new developments in
underwater research in North America, ranging from new approaches
for discovering submerged sites to an assessment of how these
findings challenge the understanding of the North American past.
Archaeological sites preserved on the world’s continental shelves
are relevant to a wide range of major research questions and their
importance increases with the heightened awareness of climate
change and rising modern sea levels. Once thought lost forever,
these sites survive underwater, preserved from the ravages of
modern farming and development. To investigate the submerged
landscapes, archaeologists use many of the same technologies
developed for discovery of shipwrecks but, couple them with
anthropological and environmental models to identify and study the
way of life of people residing in these ancient lands. In this
book, leading figures associated with submerged site exploration
share an emphasis on the conduct and results of underwater
research. It will be a fascinating read for advanced students of
Archaeology, History and Environmental Studies. This volume was
originally published as a special issue of The Journal of Island
and Coastal Archaeology.
