Abstract

In field archaeology in the UK there is no clear division between period based archaeology (such as historic or prehistoric archaeology). Despite this seeming advantage in comparison to the development of archaeology in other countries, we have experienced difficulties in achieving an acceptable level of integration between terrestrial and submerged archaeology in all its forms marine, nautical, underwater and maritime.
