    CONSERVACIÓN DE UNA COLECCIÓN DE MATERIAL CERÁMICO EXTRAÍDA DE LAS AGUAS DE LA DIOSA IXCHEL Luz de Lourdes Herbert En 1987, Jeffrey Bozanic, investigador del Island Caves Reserch Center (ICRC), en una de sus expediciones localizó material arqueológico en el interior de "El Cenote", en breve dio parte a la arqueóloga Pilar Luna, jefe del Departamento de Arqueología Subacuática del INAH, quien procedió al rescate de las piezas. La colección después de una serie de vicisitudes, en 1991 es llevada a los talleres de restauración del centro Churubusco para ser tratada y lograr su conservación. Es de vital importancia hacer énfasis en que la colección en cuestión presenta características especiales. El acervo cultural de piezas prehispánicas recuperadas de un medio marino no es muy grande y por ello adquiere un valor excepcional. El hallazgo del material cerámico fue en el sitio conocido como "El Cenote" o "The Well", ubicado en el sistema cavernario sumergido denominado "La Quebrada", cuya entrada principal se localiza en el Parque de Chankanaab, de la Isla de Cozumel. Como es del conocimiento de todos, el sistema hidrológico de la isla presenta características muy particulares, debido a la conformación geológica y topográfica de ésta, ya que está constituida por roca caliza muy permeable; por esta razón la circulación de agua se efectúa mediante una extensa red de drenaje subterráneo. Existen además varios cenotes, que son pozos circulares formados por el hundimiento de los techos de grutas, que dejan al descubierto las aguas subterráneas. Es por demás interesante mencionar características histórico culturales, que permitan contextualizar a la colección y de la trascendencia del rescate.

    Final Report A Remote Sensing Survey to locate the remains of USS Dorado off of Bahia de la Ascension, Quintana Roo, Mexico Submitted To: Syneca Research Group, Inc 600 Maryland Avenue, S.W., Suite 800W Washington, D.C. USA 20024 & Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia Subdirección de Arqueología Subacuática Calle Seminario Nº 8, Centro Histórico México, D.F. 06060 Submitted By: Geomar Research, LLC 3235 Southern Pine Lane Port Republic, MD 20676 Pilar Luna Erreguerena Principal Investigator Jeffrey D. Morris Underwater Archaeologist September 30, 2007 [NOTE: This version edited by Coral Reef Foundation and Syneca Research Group prior to public release] Cover Photo: Launching of USS Dorado on May 23, 1943, from New London, CT. Abstract: In October 2006, Douglas Campbell, Ph.D., President & CEO of Syneca Research Group, Inc. contacted Geomar Research, LLC to discuss the possibility of conducting a remote sensing survey to locate the wreckage of a World War II U.S. submarine, USS Dorado (SS-248). Dr. Campbell had conducted extensive historical research concerning the fate of this submarine as reflected in his website www.ussdorado.com. His research indicated that there was a possibility that the submarine had come to rest along the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, south of Cozumel off Bahia de la Ascension. One of the primary sources of information that Dr. Campbell had access to were first-hand stories from airplane pilots that indicated that they had seen a large “submarine”-like object in the Caribbean waters off of Bahia de la Ascension at a depth of, in their words, “approximately 100 feet.” In May 2007, Geomar Research, LLC in close coordination with its host, the Mexican Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, Subdirección de Arqueología Subacuática (INAH), conducted a remote sensing survey of an area off the mouth of Bahia de la Ascension.

Using a Community-Based Strategy to Address the Impacts of Globalization on Underwater Cultural Heritage Management in the Dominican Republic LYDIA BARBASH-RILEY* ABSTRACT This Note addresses the management of the Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH) in the Dominican Republic as a case study of the effects of two aspects of globalization on cultural and environmental resource management in the developing world: the international convergence of values and the horizontal delegation of state power to private actors due to economic constraints. This Note posits that even as the global community of states moves toward a consensus on the ethical management of the UCH, this convergence combined with the global trend of horizontal delegation may incentivize some lesser-developed countries to deal with the economic pressures of resource management by permitting treasure hunting.

  • Winter 1979-80 the HELLENISTIC WRECK at SERCE LIMAN
    Winter 1979-80 THE HELLENISTIC WRECK AT SERCE LIMAN In 1973, when sponge diver Mehmet A$kin (see PROFILE) led George Bass to the 11th century "Glass Wreck" at Ser9e Liman, Turkey, he revealed another loca­ tion, closer to the harbor mouth, which had also produced amphoras. Although it was known that this site had ·been heavily looted of amphoras prior to 1973, an initial dive that year, and a further probe in 1978 indicated that some amphoras were still present. This past summer, Bass requested that Cemal Pulak, Turkish graduate student and veteran of INA excavations since 1975, supervise a test of this site to determine its extent and evaluate its po­ tential. Pulak and Bass were surprised to find that the looters had removed only the visible upper layers of amphoras. More than a hundred amphoras, in two sizes, were recorded on the site plan and raised to the surface during this initial work. In one two-meter grid section a test pit was excavated to a depth of more than a meter, revealing the presence of a variety of A section of the Hellenistic site, located 35 meters below the surface at the foot of a submarine cliff. material.
