Can anybody recommend a good book on modern underwater archeology? Most of my knowledge on the subject comes from the 1970s-90s and I need to learn some modern information for an idea I'm working on.
Ooh! That sounds like an interesting topic! I've never read a book on it, but I'd love to find one. I'll come back here and tell you if I find one.

What sort of specific things are you trying to learn about it?
I found an article written by the North Carolina Office of State Archeology published in 2020, if that is of any use. The NCOSA Seems to have a branch dedicated to the field.(https://archaeology.ncdcr.gov/blog/2020 ... rchaeology)
The website Sapiens, which I recommend for all sorts of anthropology/archeology content, has a few articles about the ethics of underwater archeology, as well as methods for underwater forensics, which could be useful. (https://www.sapiens.org/biology/search- ... forensics/)
If you are looking for books specifically, I haven't read a lot on the topic, but The Oxford Handbook of Maritime Archeology (ISBN: 9780199336005) looks like it has tons of useful info, and it was published in 2014 so it's more modern than the other sources you have.
The most important thing is to preserve the world we live in. Unless people understand and learn about our world, habitats, and animals, they won't understand that if we don't protect those habitats, we'll eventually destroy ourselves. — Jack Hanna
