Research into the anthropogenic and taphonomic processes that affect
the formation of maritime archaeological resources has grown
significantly over the last decade in both theory and the analysis of
specific sites and associated material culture. The addition of
interdisciplinary inquiry, investigative techniques, and analytical
modeling, from fields such as engineering, oceanography, and marine
biology have increased our ability to trace the unique pathways
through which archaeological sites progress from initial deposition to
the present, yet can also link individual sites into an integrated
socio-environmental maritime landscape. This edited volume presents a
global perspective of current research in maritime archaeological
landscape formation processes. In addition to “classically”
considered submerged material culture and geography, or those that can
be accessed by traditional underwater methodology, case studies
include less-often considered sites and landscapes. These landscapes,
for example, require archaeologists to use geophysical marine survey
equipment to characterize extensive areas of the seafloor or go above
the surface to access maritime archaeological resources that have
received less scholarly attention.
