This is an abstract from the session entitled "The Ecology of Underwater Cultural Heritage: From Microbial Communities to Macrofauna", at the 2025 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Microbial biofilms can contribute to both the protection and deterioration of wrecks through biofouling and biocorrosion processes. By conducting both lab-based studies and field explorations we aim to identify wreck-associated microbial communities and determine how they affect wreck...
