This is an abstract from the session entitled "Exploration-Forward Archaeology Through Community-Driven Research", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In February 2022 members of Scripps Institution of Oceanography conducted an exploratory ocean survey using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to locate and document multiple U.S. WWII B-29 aircraft that crashed offshore Tinian and Saipan, Commonwealth of the Northern...
Directions in Deepwater Marine Archaeology: Using Technology to Grow and Synthesize Knowledge on the Deep Frontier. (2016)
The increased use of remote sensing technology has allowed archaeology to go farther and deeper than ever before. The capability of effecting real-time adaptations to Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) surveys and the increase in resolution of remote sensing equipment has provided scientists with a better opportunity to study and research what lies below the ocean’s surface. It is with advancing technology that science and engineering has allowed for the better protection and understanding of...
Kiska: Alaska’s Underwater Battlefield (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In July 2018 members of Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the University of Delaware spent two weeks conducting an exploratory remote-sensing survey to locate and document WWII-era submerged archaeological sites in the waters off Kiska Island, Alaska, one of the last and most remote islands in the Aleutian chain. The often-forgotten Aleutian campaign was the sole WWII campaign...
