Re-Visualizing Submerged Landscapes
Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2023
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Re-Visualizing Submerged Landscapes," at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Recent advances in digital technologies have opened new avenues into how submerged landscapes are recorded, analyzed, and interpreted. Image-based modelling, remote sensing, and geospatial information systems are radically changing the way we do archaeology. This session will discuss the various approaches and methods to reconstructing and visualizing submerged landscapes. These techniques afford archaeologists the ability to process large and diverse datasets alongside excavation and archival data allowing for a more broad interpretation of the social and physical processes that shaped past environments. These digital based methodologies lend themselves to less-invasive archaeological investigations which are becoming increasingly important in many regions of the world and can generate further insights for the future.

Assessing Local Variability and Storm Impacts in Coastal Paleoenvironment Models (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Re-Visualizing Submerged Landscapes", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Developing accurate reconstructions of changes in coastal geomorphology is critical to understanding how past sea-level rise inundated landscapes and influenced human activities. Previous approaches to coastal reconstructions have often been limited to “bathtub” reconstructions that use regional or global eustatic sea-level curve values to...

Leveraging Funding To Investigate our Past: NOAA Ocean Exploration’s Grants Program (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Re-Visualizing Submerged Landscapes", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. NOAA Ocean Exploration is the only federal program dedicated to exploring the deep ocean, closing prominent gaps in our basic understanding of US deep waters and the seafloor and delivering the ocean information needed to strengthen the economy, health, and security of our nation. Since 2001, NOAA Ocean Exploration has funded maritime...

Narrowing the Search for Late Pleistocene-Aged Submerged Sites on Oregon's Continental Shelf (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Re-Visualizing Submerged Landscapes", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Geographic information systems-based modeling of submerged paleolandscapes along the central coast of Oregon, USA combined with offshore geophysical and marine coring studies led to the discovery of multiple submerged and buried alluvial drainage systems dating to the late Pleistocene period. These discoveries highlight the preservation of...

Project SIREN: Machine learning and the ancient naval battle site at the Egadi Islands, Sicily (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Re-Visualizing Submerged Landscapes", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. On March 13, 241 BC off the western coast of Sicily a Roman naval force intercepted a Carthaginian resupply mission on its way to Sicily. Project SIREN is an endeavor to capture and use the experience gained through years of survey work on the Battle of the Egadi Islands Survey Project (2005-2021). Utilizing remote datasets including...

Reviving Bruges’ Lost Outer Harbors. From Survey and Excavation to Augmented and Virtual Reality (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Re-Visualizing Submerged Landscapes", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Medieval Bruges has been coined as “the cradle of capitalism”, a place where goods, ideas and people converged into a unique, multicultural environment. A tidal inlet, called the Zwin, linked Bruges to the rest of Europe and beyond and was dotted with several outports at its banks. Natural, political and economic factors all resulted in the...

A Shipwreck Landscape Spatial Statistical Analysis (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Re-Visualizing Submerged Landscapes", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Almost all underwater archaeologists admit that it is fundamental to use spatial analysis in their investigations. However, when looking at academic production, we may say that the use of GIS has become common, but as a method of representation and visualization of spatial data and as a basis for the production of maps. Inspired by spatial...

Submerged Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene Cave Sites on the Yucatan Peninsula: Recent Advances in Virtual Access and Visual Analytics (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Re-Visualizing Submerged Landscapes", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The submerged cave systems of the eastern Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, provide access to well preserved prehistoric deposits that reveal a wealth of information about the ecology of the region and its Paleoamerican inhabitants. Ongoing interdisciplinary research efforts aim to identify and reconstruct the processes that have formed and...
