This is an abstract from the session entitled "Perspectives on the Future, and the Past, of Underwater Archaeology in the Cultural Resource Management Industry" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Early pioneers or innovators may be given the moniker “Father” or “Founding Father” of their chosen field or specialty, and quite often those pioneers happen to be white males. In reviewing the history of cultural resource management it is easy to assume that...
Geophysical Methods for Identifying Submerged Archaeological Sites Using Inland Reservoirs of Oregon (2024)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Approaches to Submerged and Coastal Landscapes", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Inland reservoirs provide a unique opportunity to study submerged terrestrial landscapes and archaeological sites. These reservoirs, with their annual in-fill and drawdown cycles, serve as natural laboratories that mimic the processes of marine transgression and regression on shorter timescales. Our study focuses on geophysical...
Hoyo Negro: The Formation and Transformation of a Submerged Late Pleistocene Cave Site in Quintana Roo, Mexico (2018)
Exploration of the submerged cave systems of Quintana Roo, Mexico, has afforded researchers access to uniquely preserved Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene deposits that can reveal a wealth of information about the human ecology of the Yucatan Peninsula at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum. The interdisciplinary Hoyo Negro Project aims to identify and reconstruct the processes that have formed and transformed the site over millennia. In addition to ongoing studies of the human skeleton from...
Identifying Submerged Paleocultural Landscapes: A Collaborative Archaeological Approach (2015)
Narragansett Indian Tribal oral history relates to us that "More than 15,000 years ago, the ancient villages of the Narragansett were out where the ocean is now. The waters began to rise overnight and the people had to abandon their homes." This Tribal oral history echoes the regional geological record indicating that at the time of the last glacial maximum, ca. 24,000 years ago, what are now the Atlantic waters of Rhode Island and Block Island sounds were part of a subaerially-exposed...
An Initial Site Assessment of Submerged Naval Aircraft off the Coast of Pensacola, Florida (2016)
Known locally as the U.S. Navy's ‘Cradle of Aviation’, the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida has been a fundamental training ground for U.S. naval aviation since the beginning of the 20th century. During World War II, the U.S. Navy was eager to train as many young pilots as possible. Many of those inexperienced pilots were quickly processed through an accelerated flight-training program. Often aircraft would be lost during training missions and left to sink in the Gulf of Mexico. Available...

Next Generation of Explorers: Training Submerged Terrestrial Archaeologists (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Attention this is a Submergency: Incorporating Global Submerged Records", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Interest in submerged landscapes has received greater attention in the last decade in large part because of the increasing availability of the technology required to access submerged archaeological sites. However, training in the technologies, analyses, and even contexts needed to discover and interpret...
A Regional Approach to Submerged Naval Aircraft Studies (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Over the past few years Navy's approach to accounting for Navy aircraft losses has changed in order to better manage those resources. Where in the past the study and accounting of aircraft wrecks has been dealt with largely on a case by case bases, NHHC UA has now taken a more active role by conducting its own regional remote sensing surveys (the Regional Approach). Survey areas are...
Testing Photogrammetric Methods on Submerged Prehistoric Sites in Florida (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Love That Dirty Water: Submerged Landscapes and Precontact Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2019, members of the Florida Submerged Prehistoric Landscape Archaeological Survey and Heritage project (FSPLASH) tested photogrammetric methods on three submerged prehistoric sites in Florida. Photogrammetric methods have been widely utilized to interpret submerged historic sites; however, this has...
Toward the Remote Identification of Stone Tools in Submerged, Buried Contexts Using Acoustics (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Since the inception of geophysical survey, archaeologists have longed for the ability to detect the presence or absence of artifacts in buried contexts remotely. This ability is particularly desirable underwater, where accuracy in site location and efficiency in excavation are paramount given the expense and logistical burden associated with performing...
Twelve Days at Sea: Preliminary Results of the 2019 Geophysical Survey Campaign of Submerged Pre-Contact Landscapes in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Love That Dirty Water: Submerged Landscapes and Precontact Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Sea-level rise models demonstrate that, prior to the last glacial maximum, there was a larger landmass available for pre-contact human habitation in North America. Previous research has identified two landscape features offshore, situated 48 miles apart; both at water depths of 17 m BSL and both dated to...
The Use of Marine Magnetics to Study Submerged Archaeological Deposits in Shallow Water (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Liquid Landscapes: Recent Developments in Submerged Landscape Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Marine geophysics has been increasingly used to identify and study submerged landscapes and the archaeology thereof. Techniques such as side-scan sonar and sub-bottom profiling have been used to locate submerged archaeological deposits. Marine magnetics offer another method that can be used in the study of...
Which Way is Ashtabula? Recent Archaeological Investigations within Lake Erie Waters of Ashtabula County, Ohio (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Submerged Cultural Resources and the Maritime Heritage of the Great Lakes" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2018, Coastal Environments, Inc., (CEI) conducted a targeted cultural resources survey in the Lake Erie waters of Ashtabula County, Ohio, a study area covering ca. 30 square miles of lake bottom. The project’s first phase consisted of a geophysical survey at selected locations within the study area. The...
