Graham Scott

Graham Scott is the Subsea Superintendent for Wessex Archaeology, one of the UK’s major archaeological contractors and a heritage charity. With a background in both terrestrial archaeology and oil and gas industry diving, Graham is one of the most experienced marine archaeologists currently working in the UK, specialising in post-medieval and modern historic ship and aircraft wrecks. The wrecks he has worked on range from 16th and 17th century warships and merchant ships to 20th century battleships, submarines and bombers, many of which are amongst the most important marine archaeological sites in the UK. Leading both diving and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) operations, Graham has helped pioneer the introduction of a number of key cost-saving technologies to marine archaeological work in the UK, including acoustic tracking, imaging sonar and photogrammetry. Graham has also been responsible for the introduction and development of Wessex Archaeology’s current in-house ROV capabilities.
