New Archaeological Uses of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

This paper explores the intersection of two fields of research: autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), and archaeology in the deep sea. Archaeology in the deep sea poses a range of difficult, interesting problems for autonomous underwater vehicles. These include broad area sonar searches, target identification, and precision survey. Broad area sonar searches for archaeology have requirements si...

Multipurpose Underwater Manipulation for Archaeological Intervention

This paper presents a new research line recently started by our team (IRS-Lab, UJI) in the context of semi-autonomous underwater robotic intervention applied to the archaeological domain. This new research line is supported by the Spanish Ministry and represents an extension of previous developed work through different national and international projects. The robotic system under development wi...

Archaeological Site Survey of the Shepherd Residential

C.A. and O.B.J. Shepherd have developed a subdivision of three 1000 m sections and five 'acre' sections in the lower Tauranga Whangaroa. Five archaeological sites were identified within the subdivision. The sites recorded are identified as representative of the sites present on the volcanic valley sides.

Quality Assurance in Archaeological Survey

To have confidence in the results of an archaeological survey, whether for heritage management or research objectives, we must have some assurance that the survey was carried out to a reasonably high standard. This paper discusses the use of Quality Assurance (QA) approaches and empirical methods for estimating surveys' effectiveness at discovering archaeological artifacts as a means for ensuri...
