Subject field(s)
  • Archaeology
CONT

Underwater archaeology is a sub-discipline [of archaeology], which studies submerged sites, artifacts, human remains and landscapes. It is to be seen in the larger context of maritime archaeology, which studies human relations with oceans, lakes and rivers and is complemented by nautical archaeology, which studies vessel construction and use.

Key term(s)
  • underwater archeology
  • subaquatic archeology

French

Domaine(s)
  • Archéologie
CONT

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.

OBS

L'archéologie sous-marine se distingue, en France, de l'archéologie subaquatique, pratiquée quant à elle dans les eaux douces (fleuves, rivières, lacs).

OBS

The UASBC is a 175 member group of volunteer, avocational underwater archaeologists. We are mostly from British Columbia but also have members who live all over North America. The Society is the largest diving club in British Columbia, and one of the largest and most active heritage organisations in the province. The UASBC assists archaeologists by undertaking worthwhile projects not currently addressed by professionals. Inventories of shipwrecks and other submerged cultural sites are an especially important contribution. Information about the location, history, and status of these resources is vital to their conservation and management.
