Description: More than ever before, cultural resource managers, land managers, 
and archaeologists are tasked with managing and reviewing assessments for 
submerged cultural resources. This workshop is designed to introduce 
non-specialists to issues specific to underwater archaeology. Participants will 
learn about different types of submerged cultural resources, and the techniques 
used in Phase I and II equivalent surveys. This workshop is not intended to 
teach participants how to do underwater archaeology, but will introduce 
different investigative techniques, international Best Practices, and existing 
legislation. The purpose of this workshop is to assist non-specialists in 
recognizing the potential for submerged cultural resources in their areas of 
impact, budgeting for submerged cultural resource investigations, reviewing 
submerged cultural resource assessments, and providing sufficient background 
information to assist in making informed decisions regarding submerged cultural 
resources. This full-day workshop will consist of a series of interactive 
lectures and hands-on activities. All participants will receive an informational 
handout, a CD with supporting legislation and contacts, and referrals related to 
the workshop lectures. 

 
Maximum Enrollment: 25
