Technology and the Underwater Archaeology of the Southern Levant
The recent decade has seen the rapid development of new technological solutions in the service of underwater archaeology, which scholars working on the coastline of the Southern Levant have been quick to adopt and develop, in an endeavour to take the research of local coastal societies in antiquity to the next level. This talk presents archaeological research projects currently underway along the Carmel coast of Israel, from Atlit, through Dor, to Caesarea, highlighting the new technologies employed and developed by them, and demonstrating their impact on historical research and our knowledge of past coastal societies in the ancient Southern Levant, from Prehistory to Late Antiquity.
