Underwater archaeology
The waters of Latin America and the Caribbean are rich with archaeological sites, including coastal settlements, defensive forts, freshwater sources, fishing-related activities, navigational aids, anchorages, harbours, ports, shipbuilding sites, shipwrecks and survivor camps. Tragically, treasure-hunting has had a deep impact on these maritime cultural resources, especially on shipwrecks. In the last 20 years, archaeologists have been fighting the battle against these treasure hunters in an attempt to preserve these resources as a source of cultural heritage, rather than allow them to be viewed solely as a means for financial reward. Case studies written primarily by Latin American and Caribbean archaeologists demonstrate exciting and cutting edge research, conservation, site preservation, and interpretation. As a result, this groundbreaking book documents the emerging research interests of maritime archaeologists in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Reviews for Underwater and Maritime Archaeology in Latin America and the Caribbean

Being the first English language volume dedicated to the practice of 'maritime' archaeology in Latin America and the Caribbean this book should be required reading on university courses around the world. Readership should come not only from those focused on regional or specialist studies, but more widely from anyone, student or professional alike, involved in cultural heritage management, archaeological ethics and law, and public involvement in and the politics of archaeology--pretty much everyone. <br>--Joe Flatman, Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites
