Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of underwater archaeology, focusing on the unique challenges and discoveries of excavating submerged sites. The author meticulously examines the Douglass Beach Site in Florida, where an 18th-century Spanish shipwreck lies directly above an ancient Archaic Period terrestrial site. This dual-component site serves as a powerful case study for understanding the intricate interplay of natural forces and human history in shaping underwater archaeological deposits. The book challenges conventional assumptions about how underwater sites are formed and preserved, arguing against the prevailing "disaster-and-degeneration" view that posits all shipwrecks break up and scatter, leaving little of significance intact. Through meticulous analysis of geological processes, including wave action, longshore drift, and sea-level change, the author reveals a more nuanced understanding of how submerged sites, both prehistoric and historic, can endure for centuries beneath the waves. The book's insights into the formation processes of underwater sites provide invaluable tools for archaeologists and historians alike, shedding light on the enduring mysteries of the past hidden beneath the ocean's surface. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781390021073_0
