From Whalers to World War II: Guam Underwater Archaeology
Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2024
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "From Whalers to World War II: Guam Underwater Archaeology," at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Federal agencies, non-profits, and universities have recently undertaken multiple studies on the island of Guam to locate and document previously unrecorded underwater archaeological sites on federal and state submerged bottom lands. The island is the ancestral home of the CHamoru people, which has been occupied by Spain, Japan, or the United States since 1521, resulting in abundant cultural resources, ranging from indigenous sites of the CHamoru people to whaling shipwrecks and remnants of World War II’s amphibious invasion. This session focuses on the research, methodology, and results of these investigations.
