| Abstract |
For most of prehistory, global sea level was lower than today. Important events in human development, such as hominin dispersals during the Pleistocene Ice Age, the recolonization of formerly glaciated terrain, and the spread of agriculture took place on landscapes that are now, at least partially, underwater. Submerged sites can offer preservation conditions rarely encountered on land. With advances in underwater exploration technology, many submerged landscapes have become accessible to archaeologists, and there is growing awareness of the potential for underwater archaeology to transform our knowledge of the human past. This volume highlights the widespread occurrence of submerged prehistoric sites and demonstrates the exceptional diversity of well-preserved material to be found underwater around the world. The 25 peer-reviewed contributions from leading authors cover the results of recent research on three continents and the approaches and techniques applied to site discovery, investigation, and interpretation. |
