Maritime Archaeology: A Technical Handbook, Second Edition
Jeremy Green
May 2004, 490 pages, $69.95 Cloth
"This is a revised version of the edition published in 1989, which was one
of the few books that dealt with the practical issues of maritime
archaeology at that time. This version is a more complete, detailed and
modernised approach and is a ‘must-have’ publication for students and
archaeologists without experience in archaeological excavation. It is also
an important reference for more experienced ones. This handbook gives the
new generation of students a modus operandi in the field of maritime
archaeology from a technical and technological point of view, with a fluent
and comprehensive style, easily accessible to new readers."
- Paola Palma, The Archaeologist
"Jeremy Green’s systematic overview of maritime archaeology offers a
step-by-step description of this fast-growing field. With new information
about the use of computers and Global Positioning Systems, the second
edition of this handbook shows how to extract as much information as
possible from a site, how to record and document the data, and how to act
ethically and responsibly with the artefacts. Treating underwater
archaeology as a discipline, the book demonstrates how archaeologists,
‘looters,’ academics, and governments interact and how the market for
archaeological artefacts creates obstacles and opportunities for these
groups. Well illustrated and comprehensive in its approach to the subject,
this book provides an essential foundation for everybody interested in
underwater environments, submerged land structures, and conditions created
by sea level changes."
