Underwater Archaeology is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material remains located beneath water bodies, such as oceans, rivers, lakes, and underground sites. This field combines aspects of archaeology, history, and marine science to investigate submerged sites and artifacts, including shipwrecks, sunken cities, and ancient ports. Underwater archaeologists use specialized techniques and equipment, such as remote sensing, diving, and underwater excavation, to explore, document, and preserve these artifacts and their contexts. The goal is to gain insights into past cultures, trade, technology, and social practices influenced by water environments. Underwater archaeology plays a critical role in understanding human interaction with aquatic landscapes and addressing issues such as heritage conservation and the impact of climate change on submerged sites.
