From shipwrecks, drowned cities, and buried boats, history often reveals itself through stunning and spectacular discoveries. Archaeologists working in the
deep ocean, in lakes and rivers and on submerged sites around the world are discovering the remains of ships, ritual deposits, and ancient settlements.
The British Museum Encyclopaedia of Underwater and Maritime Archaeology is a comprehensive reference book on the discovery and recovery of the submerged past. It is written by an international team of archaeologists and specialists, often describing at first hand their own studies and excavations.
Over 450 entries cover the world's major underwater and maritime sites: submerged historic settlements, sunken Phoenician, Greek and Roman cities and harbours; Viking ship burials; ancient warships and merchant craft in the
Mediterranean; and shipwrecks from around the world, from the vessels of the earliest explorers to warships sunk during atomic bomb tests. The entries also include articles on the techniques and tools of underwater archaeology,
the scientific developments, legislation and laws, and international organizations and institutions.
An essential reference book for anyone with an interest in the recovery of the past from beneath the water and the archaeology of ships, boats and seafaring.
With 120 colour and 235 black and white illustrations
