L'archéologie subaquatique est une sous-discipline [de l'archéologie] qui étudie les sites, les objets, les vestiges humains et les paysages submergés. Elle doit être replacée dans le contexte plus large de l'archéologie maritime, qui étudie les rapports de l'homme avec les océans, les lacs et les fleuves, et est complétée par l'archéologie nautique, qui étudie la construction et l'utilisation des navires. 3, record 1, French, - arch%C3%A9ologie%20subaquatique
