History Underwater: An Introduction to Maritime Archaeology
While the term “archaeology” often conjures up images of unearthing early settlements, religious sites, or burial grounds, not all archaeology takes place on land. This talk will outline the process of maritime archaeology, exploring the seas, lakes, rivers, and coastlines to reveal more about our historical relationship with the water. We will consider how we can use material culture to answer questions about the people associated with a site, and analyze the findings from a hypothetical shipwreck to “think like an archaeologist.”
