  • Stone Tidal Weirs, Underwater Cultural Heritage Or Not? Akifumi
    Stone Tidal Weirs, Underwater Cultural Heritage or Not? Akifumi Iwabuchi Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, Tokyo, Japan, 135-8533 Email: [email protected] Abstract The stone tidal weir is a kind of fish trap, made of numerous rocks or reef limestones, which extends along the shoreline on a colossal scale in semicircular, half-quadrilateral, or almost linear shape. At the flood tide these weirs are submerged beneath the sea, while they emerge into full view at the ebb. Using with nets or tridents, fishermen, inside the weirs at low tides, catch fish that fails to escape because of the stone walls. They could be observed in the Pacific or the Yap Islands, in the Indian Ocean or the east African coast, and in the Atlantic or Oleron and Ré Islands. The UNESCO’s 2001 Convention regards this weir as underwater cultural heritage, because it has been partially or totally under water, periodically or continuously, for at least 100 years; stone tidal weirs have been built in France since the 11th century and a historical record notes that one weir in the Ryukyu Islands was built in the 17th century. In Japan every weir is considered not to be buried cultural property or cultural heritage investigated by archaeologists, but to be folk cultural asset studied by anthropologists, according to its domestic law for the protection of cultural properties. Even now in many countries stone tidal weirs are continuously built or restored by locals. Owing to the contemporary trait, it is not easy to preserve them under the name of underwater cultural heritage.

  • Requirements for Scientific Diver Certification
    Requirements for Scientific Diver Certification The steps to become a Certified Scientific Diver at the University of Washington (UW) are outlined below. 1. Obtain sponsorship for scientific diving by an appropriate University department or unit. Applicants who do not have a departmental sponsor and want to learn to be scientific divers can complete the Scientific Diver Course at UW Friday Harbor Labs. This course meets the requirements for full Scientific Diver certification as outlined below, and includes research projects for students to receive dive training. 2. Read the UW Diving Safety Manual. UW divers must understand and follow the safety, procedural, and medical requirements outlined in the manual and submit a signed copy of the Dive Manual Acknowledgement form. 3. Complete and submit the Diving Registration Form to the UW Diving Safety Officer (DSO). This form must be signed by the department official sponsoring the diver (e.g., principal investigator, department chair) . Submission of this form is a onetime requirement while at the UW. The form is resubmitted if any diver information changes. 4. Complete and submit documentation of recreational SCUBA diver training to UW DSO. Diving applicants must have completed a recreational SCUBA diving training course as a pre-requisite for scientific diving certification at the UW. Recreational SCUBA diving training must be provided by a nationally recognized organization (e.g., PADI, NAUI, SSI, IANTD, TDI). 5. Obtain Diving Medical Clearance from the UW Employee Health Center.

  • Side Scan Sonar and the Management of Underwater Cultural Heritage Timmy Gambin
    259 CHAPTER 15 View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OAR@UM Side Scan Sonar and the Management of Underwater Cultural Heritage Timmy Gambin Introduction Th is chapter deals with side scan sonar, not because I believe it is superior to other available technologies but rather because it is the tool that I have used in the context of a number of off shore surveys. It is therefore opportune to share an approach that I have developed and utilised in a number of projects around the Mediterranean. Th ese projects were conceptualised together with local partners that had a wealth of local experience in the countries of operation. Over time it became clear that before starting to plan a project it is always important to ask oneself the obvious question – but one that is oft en overlooked: “what is it that we are setting out to achieve”? All too oft en, researchers and scientists approach a potential research project with blinkers. Such an approach may prove to be a hindrance to cross-fertilisation of ideas as well as to inter-disciplinary cooperation. Th erefore, the aforementioned question should be followed up by a second query: “and who else can benefi t from this project?” Benefi ciaries may vary from individual researchers of the same fi eld such as archaeologists interested in other more clearly defi ned historic periods (World War II, Early Modern shipping etc) to other researchers who may be interested in specifi c studies (African amphora production for example).

  • Technologies for Underwater Archaeology and Maritime Preservation
    Technologies for Underwater Archaeology and Maritime Preservation September 1987 NTIS order #PB88-142559 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Technologies for Underwater Archaeol- ogy and Maritime Preservation— Background Paper, OTA-BP-E-37 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, September 1987). Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 87-619848 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (order form on the last page of this background paper) Foreword Exploration, trading, and other maritime activity along this Nation’s coast and through its inland waters have played crucial roles in the discovery, settlement, and develop- ment of the United States. The remnants of these activities include such varied cul- tural historic resources as Spanish, English, and American shipwrecks off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts; abandoned lighthouses; historic vessels like Maine-built coastal schooners, or Chesapeake Bay Skipjacks; and submerged prehistoric villages in the Gulf Coast. Together, this country’s maritime activities make up a substantial compo- nent of U.S. history. This background paper describes and assesses the role of technology in underwater archaeology and historic maritime preservation. As several underwater projects have recently demonstrated, advanced technology, often developed for other uses, plays an increasingly important role in the discovery and recovery of historic shipwrecks and their contents. For example, the U.S. Government this summer employed a powerful remotely operated vehicle to map and explore the U.S.S. Monitor, which lies on the bottom off Cape Hatteras. This is the same vehicle used to recover parts of the space shuttle Challenger from the ocean bottom in 1986.

  • May 2021 Newsletter Update
    On March 10th, the FSU Great Give generated over $5,500 for the new FSUCML Diving Scholarship. In addition to funding generated through the Great Give, PADI, Aqua Lung and Divers Alert Network will provide support for the scholarship recipients in the form of certification materials, equipment, and diving accident insurance. A panel will be selecting the 2021 recipient this fall from a pool of deserving research-focused students. Preference will be given to students from historically underrepresented groups. If you know of someone that might be interested, please encourage them to apply. Summer research diving is underway with divers operating out of the FSU Marine Lab, the Florida Keys, and the Caribbean. The McCoy Lab began diving this week in Bonaire, becoming the first FSU dive team to work internationally since the Pandemic began. All divers using equipment from the Academic Diving Program will be using new Aqua Lung regulators. With funding provided by the Office of Research, ADP purchased twenty new Aqua Lung Core regulators with in-line i300C computers. Three new BARE dry suits and ten new Aqua Lung BCDs were also acquired including new Aqua Lung Soul BCDs - the first BCD in the dive locker that is designed for women. The 2021 Introduction to Scientific Diving course concluded on April 17th with divers-in-training punctuating their semester long training on a charter aboard the R/V Apalachee to K-Tower. This semester marked the first class to be taught as a credit course since 2017. Twelve divers successfully completed their AAUS certifications. The next training class is scheduled for spring 2022.

  • + Conservation Considerations for Archaeology Collections. the Following Discussion Is Adapted from the SHA Standards and Guidel
    + Conservation Considerations for Archaeology Collections. The following discussion is adapted from the SHA Standards and Guidelines for the Curation of Archaeological Collections (1993) and the NPS Museum Handbook, Part I (1996). Archaeological objects “in situ” have generally reached a state of equilibrium with their environment. Although taphonomic processes, (what happens to an object or organic material after disposal or death), might have altered the object in some manner and erosion and weathering may continue to alter the object, many artifacts are recovered from stable environments. The excavation process disturbs this stability and recommences deterioration. A critical task for any archaeological project is to reestablish equilibrium before total destruction of the object occurs. Different materials, i.e. glass, metal, ceramics, stone, etc., are subject to different destructive forces and require different preventative measures. Therefore, as mentioned in Chapter 2, it is recommended that archaeologists consult with conservators before excavation begins. This allows the archaeologist to become conversant with the types of artifacts that may be encountered, the conditions in which they are found, and preliminary conservation measures. At any time, when difficulties are encountered in the field, consultation with conservators can help in the recovery process. This allows for retention of as much factual information about the artifact as possible (Bourque, et. al. 1980, Storch 1997). The Table below lists the most common archaeological materials with their associated problems and curatorial requirements. This list is not inclusive and provides guidelines only. The optimal temperature listed varies among the materials. MHS’s storage facilities are kept at 65°(+/- 3% in 24 hours) with 50% relative humidity (+/- 3%), providing an average suitable for most materials.
