Summary
The archaeological interpretations of the role that environment plays in the nature of the anthropogenic occupations on the coast, are currentely a thorough line of analysis on the Underwater Archaeological Chart of the Municipality of Cascais (ProCASC ).The main focus of our research have been divided into two categories that have direct impact on archaeological sites: a concern about the change in the coastal environment driven by man or nature, and, processes of adaptation and management of these changes.
In May 2015, during the Portuguese Task Group for the Extension of the Continental Shelf (EMEPC)- M@rbis Campaign, it was developed a multidisciplinary work, in order to collect the bio-sedimentary potential of some of the archaeological sites of Cascais Sea. One of them was the military ship Patrão Lopes. The present communication, aims to discuss the results and the potential of historical archeology, as underwater sites formation and dynamics, and, as a marker of biological monitoring.
