This
website from the French Department of Underwater Archaeological Research
explores what archaeology below sea level is like. It not only details
underwater excavations and the history behind the sites but also the history of
this branch of the discipline. It introduces enthusiasts, new and old to terms
and techniques relating to archaeology they might not have learned elsewhere.
The site even gives an in depth look into one of the most interesting
underwater archaeological site, the Cosquer Cave. This cave is only accessible
through an underwater tunnel that contains many paintings and engravings from
tens of thousands of years ago. Comprehensibly presented and visually
stimulating, this site combines good graphics and detailed description to
provide web browsers an exciting introduction to the field of aquatic
archaeology!
I
found this website by browsing stumbleupon for “archaeology” and I’m glad I
did! The information presented, while somewhat crudely translated is interesting and easy to be curious about! It’s
obscure enough that I have zero prior knowledge but unlike many instances with the discipline of
archaeology, that isn’t a problem here. While the information is limited and sometimes strangely worded, brief summaries are as in depth as the articles go, it is all still pertinent and attention grabbing. My favorite thing about this site is
probably the layout. It captures your attention right at first and makes you
feel like you’re really interacting with the page which is always a plus.
