Many mysteries lie in the maritime environment. An introduction to maritime archaeology will give you a brief understanding of this and the many secrets that lie along the coast of past peoples. The evidence of the past is rarely visible to the untrained eye, but did you know that through observing a few small features and understanding what they mean you may be able to learn and appreciate that which once made up our maritime coasts? Cities lie hidden under some of the coastal areas while other aspects may only be visible at low tides. Shipwrecks along the coast can be understood to realise the people who once sailed the seas, and the communities of the time can be realised.

Leading experts in maritime archaeology will not only offer an insight into how to understand the environment but also what to do if you find an object to help better understand the past and how to ensure the maritime archaeological environment is cared for.
