Underwater Archaeology

1 report
Underwater Archaeology is an archaeological method used to locate, date, document, sample, or interpret material evidence. Reliability depends on calibration procedure, sampling strategy, and field recording; biased samples, violated assumptions, or measurement error can narrow what the result establishes.

A closer account of Underwater Archaeology considers field recording, together with field or laboratory procedure and dating or detection limits. The account anchors dating or detection limits in integration with excavation records and uses calibration standards to test whether the pattern extends beyond one dataset; the evidence is read with the caveat that disturbance, contamination, and incomplete context can narrow what the method establishes.
