But if we set aside these stories, do we really know what happened when, and why it's so important? Which came first, the Bronze Age or the Stone Age? Why did the Romans play such a significant role in our past? And how did a nation as small as Britain come to command such a vast empire? Here, Tim Taylor and the team of expert historians behind Channel 4's Time Team, answer these questions and many more, cataloguing British history in a way that is accessible to all.

Still, compared to all other U.S. monthly dive maga- zines, Advanced Diver provides four times the copy, four times the quality and four times the dive experience. The staff and contribu- tors at ADM are all about diving, diving more than should be legally allowed. We are constantly out in the field "doing it," exploring, photographing and gathering the latest information about what we love to do. In this issue, you might notice that ADM is once again expanding by 16 pages to bring you, our readers, even more information and contin- ued high-quality photography. Our goal is to be the best dive magazine in the history of diving! I think we are on the right track.

Introduction Activities conducted under this project fell into two components addressing coral diseases in the Florida Keys: (1) etiologic studies and (2) reef surveys. Each is discussed in turn below. Note that activities were coordinated by and based at Mote's "Pigeon Key Marine Research Center" which has been relocated and renamed the "Center for Tropical Research" since completion of the project. All future correspondence regarding this project should be to the current address. This project involved personnel from a number of institutions in addition to those of the grant recipients. A brief description of project roles follows. Erich Mueller (Mote Marine Laboratory - MML) was the project director. In addition to project management and report generation, he conducted all drilling to establish stations, conducted coral and disease (June 1998 only) counts on surveys, mapped the LK03 site, drilled holes in lesions and secured pins. Esther Peters (Tetra Tech., Inc. - TTI) was Quality Assurance (QA) officer. She also conducted or supervised all sample collection activities and conducted coral disease surveys (August, 1998 only).
