International Handbook of Underwater Archaeology by Carol V Ruppe: New

Description: The Springer Series in Underwater Archaeology Ser.: International Handbook of Underwater Archaeology (2002, Hardcover)Books > NonfictionProduct InformationAlthough underwater archaeology has assumed its rightful place as an important subdiscipline in the field, the published literature has not kept pace with the rapid increase in the number of both prehistoric and historic underwater sites. The editors have assembled an internationally distinguished roster of contributors to fill this gap. The book presents geographical and topical approaches, and focuses on technology, law, public and private institutional roles and goals, and the research and development of future technologies and public programs.Product IdentifiersPublisherSpringerISBN-100306463458ISBN-139780306463457eBay Product ID (ePID)1865893Product Key FeaturesFormatHardcoverPublication Year2002LanguageEnglishDimensionsWeight75.3 OzWidth7in.Length10in.Additional Product FeaturesNumber of Volumes1 Vol.Dewey Edition21Table of ContentDedication.

For the uninitiated, this handbook is a first-class, undaunting introduction to underwater archaeology, enabling the reader to grasp the current situation rapidly and accurately. For the specialist its importance lies in its accessibility to work conducted across the globe, of which it is often difficult to keep abreast." (Sean Kingsley; Minerva 54, 15:4)Lccn2001-016493
