Maritime archaeology and underwater cultural heritage management
have become well established over the past twenty years or so in
the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in Australia. During that
period Australian researchers and underwater cultural heritage
managers have conducted a significant number of important maritime
archaeological investigations and have developed innovative
approaches to the discipline.
Subject areas discussed in this book include shipwrecks and
abandoned vessels, underwater site formation processes, maritime
infrastructure and industries such as whaling, submerged aircraft
and Australian Indigenous sites underwater. The application of
National and State legislation and management regimes to these
underwater cultural heritage sites is also highlighted, together
with the important role of avocational divers and training programs
in raising the profile of underwater and maritime heritage
sites.
The book includes a comprehensive bibliography of work conducted
both in Australia and by Australian maritime archaeologists in the
Asia-Pacific region. This book will be of interest to students and
practitioners of maritime and historical archaeology and cultural
heritage managers throughout the world as example of good practice
and innovative approaches to maritime archaeology.
