Description:
This book is an updated version of Archaeology Beneath the Sea (Walker and Company, 1975), which ended with the experiences of 1973, continuing the story to 2011. With the exception of chapter IX, largely rewritten with the results of half a century of additional research, chapters I through XIV are mostly unchanged, although more profusely illustrated.To ensure accuracy in describing events that occurred years earlier, I have often depended on things I wrote much closer to the time of those events. Large or small parts of some chapters are taken or adapted from earlier publications: chapters II and VII from "A Bronze Age Shipwreck" and "The Museum Assembles a Fleet" in Expedition, the bulletin of the University of Pennsylvania Museum, for Winter 1961 and Winter 1965 respectively, chapters X and XI from "New Tools for Undersea Archaeology" in National Geographic for September 1968, chapter XIV from "Discovery 73" in the AINA Newsletter for Spring 1974, and a passage in chapter VI from National Geographic Society Research Reports, 1964. The quotation from Archaeology Under Water in chapter VIII is reprinted by permission of Thames and Hudson Ltd. Other examples of earlier publication of all or parts of chapters are chapter XV from "Summer 74" in AINA Newsletter for Fall 1974, chapter XVI from "Devil Creek" in the Fall 1975 AINA Newsletter, chapter XVII from "Glass Treasure From the Aegean" in National Geographic for June 1978 and "Serce Liman" in the Summer-Fall 1978 AINA Newsletter, chapter XVIII from "La Media Luna," written with Donald H Keith for the Summer 1979 INA Newsletter, chapter XXI from "Oldest Known Shipwreck Reveals Splendors of the Bronze Age" in National Geographic for December 1987, chapter XXIV from "Return to Cape Celidonya" in the June 1988 INA Newsletter, chapter XXV from "Golden Age Treasures" in National Geographic for March 2002, chapters XXVI and XXVII from "Ribbon Cuttings" and "INA Increases its Fleet," both in the INA Quarterly for Summe
