Reflectance spectroscopy reveals mineralogy and preservation of ceramics from the Bidong Shipwreck. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Shipwreck ceramics are rarely analysed in situ since conventional mineral tests require sampling and jeopardise conservation. This study present the first application of full-range visible–near-infrared (VIS–NIR, 350–2500 nm) reflectance spectroscopy to ...

RETRACTED: Applying geoarchaeological principles to marine archaeology: A reappraisal of the “first marine” and “in situ” lithic scatters in the Dampier Archipelago, NW Australia

Geoarchaeology, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 783-810, September/October 2022., 2022
Abstract The absence of known prehistoric underwater cultural heritage (UCH) sites on the Australian inner shelf stands in stark contrast to the thousands of sites revealed elsewhere in the world. Two recent claims—Dortch et al. (D2019) and Benjamin et al.

Extracting ecological metrics from archeological surveys of shipwrecks using submersible video and laser‐line scanning

Ecosphere, Volume 11, Issue 11, November 2020., 2020
Abstract Ecological metrics derived from habitat surveys can provide information necessary to understand population, community, and ecosystem processes. Here, we present a case study on the feasibility of extracting ecological metrics from archeological studies of shipwrecks.
