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.

Ngl I thought this said "modern underwear technology"

I can't recommend any books, but maybe you can try looking for interviews or ask-me-anything posts by people who do underwater exploration?

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 Australian Government also seems to have a database dedicated to cultural artifacts found underwater (https://www.dcceew.gov.au/parks-heritag ... tage/auchd).

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.

Thanks a lot! I'll take a look into these things.
