Extractions: The proposal for the museum, submitted by the Marine Archeology Center of the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) in Goa, involves laying a submarine acrylic tube through which visitors can view through glass windows the ruins of the city said to have been be ruled by Sri Krishna, 3,500 years ago. An alternative suggestion is to have acrylic wells, to be accessed through boats, from which the remains can be viewed. "The search for the lost city has been going on since 1930," S. R. Rao, former adviser to the NIO who is still actively involved in the excavations, told India Abroad. "It is only after marine archaeologists started exploring the seabed near modem Dwarka from 1981 that the structural remains of the city were found." Rao said that if a fraction of the funds spent on land archeology were made available for under-water archaeology, more light could be thrown on Dwarka, which had much archeological significance because it was built during the second urbanization that occurred in India after the Indus Valley civilization in northwestern India. Dwarka's existence disproves the belief held by Western archeologists that there was no urbanization in the Indian subcontinent from the period between 1700 B.C. (Indus Valley) and 550 B.C. (advent of Buddhism). As no information was available about that period, they had labeled it the Dark Period.

Extractions: California History and Marine Archaeology: Working to Preserve Our Heritage California's history is very exciting, made of day-to-day events that start with the Native Americans and continue to this very day. Archaeological resources is the term given to the places and objects that tell us how the people of California lived. Marine archaeology studies those places and objects that tell us how the people of California used the sea. Examples of marine archaeological resources include shipwrecks, prehistoric village sites that are now underwater, objects placed in the ocean by Native Americans during their ceremonies, and cargo lost from the deck of an explorer's ship during a storm.

It is to take care for the protection, conservation and the popularization of our underwater cultural heritage. The Centre is to catalogue all submerged archeological sites on Bulgarian territory and develop expert, consulting, research and educational activity. The organization of international seminars on underwater archeology is envisaged. By creating that cultural institute, our country synchronizes its activity with the UNESCO member states and the forthcoming signing of the international convention on the conservation of underwater cultural heritage.

Extractions: Far below the oceans surface, resting on the seabed off the Portuguese coast are Spanish, Portuguese, and British ships that sank during the Age of Exploration. Through the years, this graveyard of ships has survived relatively untouched, and may now provide rich opportunities for archeological discovery. Until the recent advent of underwater technology, these historically significant sites have been unavailable for identification and study. The Age of Exploration (15th-18th centuries) is a period of great adventure and discovery, where people traveled across the oceans in search of new lands, treasures, goods and trade routes. The story of the ill-fated Cinque Chagas is only one of hundreds of shipwrecks recorded along the Portuguese coasts. The ship set sail for Portugal from the East Indies, carrying a kings ransom in gold, silver, and jewels. Also on board were Italian and Portuguese merchants with their own goods, and the abandoned cargoes of two other ships that wrecked off the African coast. Overloaded with cargo and passengers, with disease and starvation rampant throughout the ship, she sailed into the Azores to replenish her stock, ignoring the warnings of the dangers of pirates and renegade vessels that awaited her The next morning she fell under attack from three British ships. The battle raged on for two days until finally, with her decks ablaze, a violent explosion sent the Chagas and her valuable cargo to the bottom of the sea. Now, a new Age of Exploration is resuming far beneath the ocean's surface.

PROTECT YOUR PAST FOR THE FUTURE (Laws, Regulations, Standards, and Coventions Related to Cultural Resources) About the Submerged Cultural Resources Unit (NPS-SCRU) With increasing awareness of America's underwater cultural resources, employees of the U. S. National Park Service began in the 1960's to investigate shipwrecks with SCUBA equipment, and to document their locations and condition. This activity accelerated in the 1970's as park managers became increasingly aware of the richness and importance of these submerged resources. In 1980 this effort was formalized within the Submerged Cultural Resources Unit, staffed by professional underwater archaeologists, technicians and other professionals to provide the United States national park system with the necessary expertise.

Treasures such as remains of an ancient boat from the time of Jesus and relics from the advanced Phoenician society (who greatly influenced written language and may have reached the Americas 2,000 years before Columbus) are among the many underwater discoveries. The magical qualities of water has preserved what would have otherwise been destroyed by the winds of time. Witness these preserved relics as we investigate the waters of the Holy Land.

Science Applications International Corporation Using Technology to Scour Davy Jones' Locker The sea, any marine archeologist (or buccaneer) will tell you, guards its secrets jealously. First, one must locate a shipwreck and its associated artifacts. Once found, wrecks must be mapped and explored, and artifacts must be retrieved with extreme care. Some lost articles, when exposed to the air after resting safely in the abyss for hundreds or thousands of years, can turn to mush before you can growl "Look lively there, ye lubbers!" Finding soggy shipwrecks has gotten easier over the past fifty years. With the advent and refinement of scuba technology, they've come within easy reach of marine archeologists and of sport and commercial divers who enjoy a good wreck as much as the next swab. It has also helped modern-day scoundrels who, like the pirates of olde, think nothing of pocketing anything that's not nailed down, and even artifacts that are. How has technology expanded the archeologist's reach to ever deeper waters?
