""Archaeological Oceanography" is a must-have book for anyone
interested in this emerging field. Never has there been a
collection of articles as comprehensive as this one. For the first
time in a single source are authoritative articles on the
technology, field techniques, and even the preservation of these
irreplaceable deep-water cultural resources with discussions on
ways to bring them to the public's eye. The contributors are
experts in their fields and present readable, data-packed
overviews. The book will be the standard for many years to
come."--Donny Hamilton, Texas A&M University
"An excellent and accessible introduction to the work that
Robert Ballard and his colleagues have done in the pioneering field
of archaeology in the deep sea. This challenging new domain
requires a mix of oceanography, archaeology, and engineering, and
this volume shows how the best research seamlessly interweaves the
three. A must-read for anyone interested in exploring our sunken
past."--David Mindell, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
"A significant and major contribution. This is a valuable work
that will have relevance and importance to professional audiences
in the fields of oceanography, deep-sea technology, and public
policy in regard to ocean science, robotics, and various
subdisciplines of archaeology. This work will be viewed as an
essential read, and will become the standard reference."--James P.
Delgado, executive director of the Institute of Nautical
Archaeology
"This book addresses a subject of very widespread interest among
the general public as well as for professional archaeologists and
oceanographers. Moreover, the authors are all firsthand experts
with considerableexperience in the subject matter they describe and
discuss."--Patty Jo Watson, professor emerita, Washington
University in St. Louis
"There is nothing else like this book. Dr. Ballard and his
coauthors have led the way in exploring deep shipwrecks. They are
the world leaders in deepwater archaeology. Their credentials are
unquestioned. The book will be a significant contribution to the
field."--George F. Bass, professor emeritus, Texas A&M
University
"There is no doubt that when it comes to the investigation of
very deepwater sites, this group has been at the forefront of the
technological developments to prospect for and then map such
archaeology. A very useful anthology of their work."--Justin Dix,
University of Southampton
