University of Southampton Faculty of Humanities Department of Archaeology THE 2001 UNESCO CONVENTION ON THE PROTECTION OF THE UNDERWATER CULTURAL HERITAGE: IMPLEMENTATION AND EFFECTIVENESS Robert Finlay MacKintosh Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2018 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Archaeology Doctor of Philosophy THE 2001 UNESCO CONVENTION ON THE PROTECTION OF THE UNDERWATER CULTURAL HERITAGE: IMPLEMENTATION AND EFFECTIVENESS by Robert Finlay MacKintosh The 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage entered into force in 2009. Little is known of how, or even if, it is being implemented. This study examines the implementation of the Convention in its States Parties and investigates the reasons behind the observed levels of implementation. Through an investigation of the presence or absence of certain indicators in the national legislation of States Parties to the Convention, it is apparent that there is a low level of compliance with the 2001 Convention. Further, the Convention has so far had a very limited legal effect. From this examination of legal effectiveness, conclusions about the interpretation of certain ambiguous provisions of the Convention are also possible. In particular, there are a small number of indications that the ambiguities in Articles 9 and 10 of the Convention are being interpreted in favour of the coastal State, suggesting an increasing territorialisation of the EEZ. Interviews of relevant actors were conducted in five case study States. This allowed an examination of the other effects of the Convention and causes of the lack of implementation to be suggested. It is concluded that it is largely factors relating to the States themselves, most notably issues with capacity, that are causing this lack of effect. Finally, suggestions are made which could improve the effectiveness of the Convention and increase the protection of underwater cultural heritage around the world. i Contents Contents ................................................................................................................................. iii Table of Cases .................................................................................................................... ix Table of Domestic Legislation .................................................................................. xi Table of Treaties and other International Instruments ..................... xxxiii Table of International Organisation Documents .................................. xxxvii List of Figures .................................................................................................................... xli List of Tables...................................................................................................................... xli Author’s Declaration ................................................................................................... xliii Acknowledgements ...................................................................................................... xlv List of Abbreviations .................................................................................................. xlvi Introduction .......................................................................................................................... 1 Chapter 1 - An International Problem ............................................................ 3 1.1 The Threat to Underwater Cultural Heritage ............................... 3 1.2 A Legal Vacuum ......................................................................... 6 1.2.1 The Legal Context .......................................................... 6 1.2.2 The UNCLOS Regime ..................................................... 12 1.3 Conclusion .............................................................................. 27 Chapter 2 - An International Solution?

(May 2012) Christopher Michael Atkinson, B.A. Drexel University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Shelley Wachsmann The fishing method of trawling, or dragging, has long been shown to be harmful to a plethora of sea life inhabiting the world‟s oceans and inland waterways. Fishing nets scour the seabed, disturbing everything in their path, while usually in search of only one type of bottom-dwelling species. Impacts to the seafloor include a removal of topographic features, disturbance of the upper sediment layers, including deep furrows, as well as physical and chemical changes to sediment morphology. While biological organisms and communities can potentially recover from this destruction, archaeological data cannot. Fishermen have been raising important artifacts in their nets for over a century. These finds have helped archaeologists locate significant sites, but they also have the adverse effect of irreparably damaging these sites.

The islands were close to the major maritime routes throughout history and they were often on the border between clashing military, political, religious, and cultural entities. For these reasons, the islands were presumed to have been strategically and economically important, and, thus, frequented by ships. An underwater archaeological survey around the archipelago revealed the scarcity of submerged cultural remains, especially pertaining to shipping and navigation.

Foreword by Anna Freud Maria Montessori’s personality and the value of her contributions justify the thorough, scrupulous description that is allotted to them in this book. Those who were aware only of the later effects of her work will now see her endeavours arranged in the historical context to which they owe their origin, and can follow the bitter struggle for social progress of which only a strong will like hers could be capable. Guided by the author in an enthralling manner, the reader will see develop before him the picture of Maria Montessori, who in 1896 was the first woman to become a physician in Italy. She was fascinated by the goal of improving the lot of poor, subnormal children who were disadvantaged both by physical constitution and circumstances. What followed, and is here made completely comprehensible for the first time, is her turning away from medicine to pedagogy, and the broadening of her circle of influence beyond her native Italy to all the countries of the world—an inevitable step of momentous importance for entire generations of normal children.

  • Strategies for Water Supply in Arabia Petraea During the Nabataean Through Early Islamic Periods: Local Adaptations of the Regional ‘Technological Shelf’
    John Peter Oleson Strategies for Water Supply in Arabia Petraea during the Nabataean through Early Islamic Periods: Local Adaptations of the Regional ‘Technological Shelf’ Summary Excavation by the author at the site of al-Humayma, ancient Hawara, allowed detailed re- construction of the water-supply system that supported this isolated settlement in the hyper- arid Hisma Desert of Southern Jordan. A re-evaluation of the regional water-supply systems in Arabia Petraea from the Nabataean through the Early Islamic phases, shows that some aspects of the systems at Nabataean sites, such as Petra and Hawara, had precedents in the technologies of the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age settlements in the region, while others can be traced to developments in the Hellenistic Aegean. Sites such as Petra, Hawara, Iram, and Hegra show that the overall flavor of the water-supply systems remain strictly regional, mostly due to climate, topography, and hydrology. Keywords: Nabataeans; hydraulic technology; technological shelf; cistern; aqueduct Die vom Autor geleitete Ausgrabung in al-Humayma, dem antiken Hawara, ermöglichte eine detaillierte Rekonstruktion des Wasserversorgungssystems, das die isolierte Stätte in der extrem ariden Hisma Wüste im südlichen Jordanien versorgte. Eine Neubewertung der Wasserversorgung in der Arabia Petraea von der nabatäischen bis in die islamische Zeit zeigt, dass die in nabatäischen Siedlungen wie Petra und Hawara gebräuchlichen Systeme technisch teils aus der regionalen Spätbronze- und Eisenzeit hervorgehen, teils in die helle- nistische Ägäis zurückverfolgt werden können. Es kann gezeigt werden, dass der generelle Charakter der Systeme in Siedlungen wie Petra, Hawara, Iram und Hegra regional bleibt, hauptsächlich aufgrund von Klimabedingungen, Topografie und Hydraulik.
