Dear Chester, There are several places where you can get info on maritime archaeology. For starters, SHA has an advisory council on underwater archaeology - you could write them for more information (SHA = Society of Historical Archaeology). As for journals, I would recommend the International Journal of Nautical Archaeology - your college library may have this in the periodical section. As for books, I can recommend Jeremy Greene's book _Maritime Archaeolgy_ it has a steep price tag, but your library may have a copy. Also, anything written by George Bass would be well worth your time. These are just a few ideas to get you started. There are a number of people involved in this area. One of my professors in the Anthropology Department at the Univ. of Maryland at College Park is very interested in maritime archaeology. You may want to drop him a line. Dr. John Seidel Dept. of Anthropology - Woods Hall Univ. of MD at College Park College Park, MD 20742 Good Luck! Sincerely, Gilda Anroman [log in to unmask] On Sun, 12 Jun 1994, CHESTER P.
