Folks

In Australia, specifically SE Queensland we are in a particularly bad  
drought, to the point where here in Brisbane water restrictions are  
getting pretty severe and our main water supply is down to 20% capacity.

Despite the obvious doom and gloom this situation portends it also  
raises some unique opportunities for archaeologists investigating  
areas of land that have been for many years underwater. Is experience  
of working in these sorts of landscapes common? Is there a literature  
out there that deals with this sort of thing?

Sincerely
GrahamK
