Re-Visualizing Submerged Landscapes

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.
