WHEN THE LAND MEETS THE SEA FORMATION PROCESS...

Research into the anthropogenic and taphonomic processes that affect the formation of maritime
archaeological resources has grown significantly over the last decade in both theory and the
analysis of specific sites and associated material culture. The addition of interdisciplinary
inquiry  investigative techniques  and analytical modeling  from fields such as engineering 
oceanography  and marine biology have increased our ability to trace the unique pathways
through which archaeological sites progress from initial deposition to the present  yet can
also link individual sites into an integrated socio-environmental maritime landscape. This
edited volume presents a global perspective of current research in maritime archaeological
landscape formation processes. In addition to classically considered submerged material culture
and geography  or those that can be accessed by traditional underwater methodology  case
studies include less-often considered sites and landscapes. These landscapes  for example 
require archaeologists to use geophysical marine survey equipment to characterize extensive
areas of the seafloor or go above the surface to access maritime archaeological resources that
have received less scholarly attention.
