Underwater Archaeology is a specialized field of archaeology that focuses on the study of historical and archaeological sites submerged beneath water bodies such as oceans, seas, rivers, and lakes. This discipline involves the investigation and preservation of artifacts, structures, and biological remains found in these underwater environments. Underwater archaeologists employ various techniques including scuba diving, remote sensing, and submersible technologies to explore and document sites like shipwrecks, submerged cities, and ancient maritime routes. The aim is to understand human interaction with water bodies throughout history, uncovering information about trade, navigation, and cultural practices while ensuring the protection and conservation of underwater heritage.
