/Home/Historical Studies/Archaeology/Marine (Underwater) The Secrets of an Ancient Indian Watering Hole Votes:0 The Secrets of an Ancient Indian Watering Hole by Walt Stearns It began as an invitation by the government of the Dominican Republic, in August 1996, to a team of underwater archaeologists led by Indiana University professor Charles Beeker. The idea was to initiate the investigation of a water filled sinkhole and a dry cave inside one of the countrys national parks near the southeastern coastal providence of La Romana. The outcome was perhaps the richest find ever recorded of Taino Indian artifacts. Believed to be the first people to have met Columbus upon his fateful discovery of the island of Hispaniola in 1492, this same race was pushed to extinction less than 20 years after the Spaniards first settlement of this second-largest island in the Caribbean. Beeker, director of IUs Underwater Read More Go to Site Indiana University Underwater Science Program Votes:0 Dominican Republic Research Indiana University's Underwater Science program is involved in on-going investigations in the Dominican Republic. The research includes not only underwater archaeology, but also land-based archaeology and water quality analysis. Through the combined efforts of numerous Dominican Republic organizations, university departments, professors, students, and other individuals, the Underwater Science program hopes to bring to light some exciting new discoveries regarding the impact of Columbus's arrival in the New World. .

The harbor was commissioned and built by Herod the Great in 21 BC. Herod used a new Roman building technique which incorporated newly invented material, hydraulic concrete, to build harbor moles out from the coastline. The early history of the harbor is documented by Josephus Flavius, however, the later history is still largely unknown (the harbor is presently submerged 5-7m below mean sea level). Recent excavations have focused on reconstructing the method of harbor constructi Read More Go to Site Diving for Diamonds Votes:0 Home | Subsccribe | News | Shop | TV | Events | Links | Contact | Free Info | Advertise | Search A publication of the Archaeological Institute of America Email this article Diving for Diamonds September 20, 2000 by Ricardo J.

Further detail should be obtained from the conference proceedings publication, or directly from the authors. A repeat analysis of 21 sites in the Mediterranean, brought about by the need for obtaining samples for dendro-dating also looked at the state of preservation of the wrecks some 20 years after they had been originally surveyed.

The ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) gained altitude for a better look - a few more, then literally hundreds more amphora materialized in the robot?s lights. The sight was breathtaking, and a hush fell over the crew as the significance of what they had discovered settled in.

Previous research revealed the wreck was the Geneva Kathleen, a 3-masted wooden schooner built inTexas for the Caribbean lumber trade. The Geneva Kathleen had wrecked in 1930 after 12 years ofoperation. Originally she was 162.9 feet long, 36.8 feet wide, with a hull 13.4 feet deep.

Towart Member, Board of Editor The Maple Leaf was built in Canada in 1851 for the Lake Ontario steamboat trade carrying passengers, freight and livestock. She was also a popular excursion steamer. She was employed in various facets of this trade until August, 1862 when she was sold to Boston ship owners who chartered her to the U.S. Army Quartermaster Department for use as an Army transport. Steamboats were an essential part of the 19th century American transportation system operating along the coastlines, and on the rivers great and small, and on the larger lakes. The Maple Leaf was one of the untold numbers of these mundane, everyday workhorse ships that comprised this basic mode of transportation.

Background On the 12th of September 1745, the East Indiaman GÖtheborg, the pride of the Swedish East India Company, was approaching the mouth of the GÖta River. She was the Company's largest vessel and named in honor of the city of Gothenburg which was also the Company's homeport. She was fully laden with tea, spices, silks and porcelain and on the point of completing her third successful voyage to Canton and back. Yet for no apparent reason, she sailed onto a well known underwater reef, the HunnebÅdan, alongside the main channel and a mere 900 meters from the fortress of Nya Elfsborg. The impact was violent. The whole of her bow was stove in against the rock, where she lodged fast with her aft under water.
