Telepresence Enabled Maritime Archaeology

Summary

Advances in robotic and satellite technology have shifted ocean exploration into an interactive forum that links scientists and the public via "telepresence." Working with this paradigm, archaeologists have joined the ranks of ocean explorers on a variety of projects ranging from surveys to excavation in depths ranging from a few hundred to thousands of meters deep. The process has encouraged wider scientific integration, provided access to sites at depths previously not considered "workable," and also provided a powerful educational and outreach tool to share archaeological practice, methods, theory and ethics to a global, Internet-savvy audience.
