| Summary: | Problem-oriented research is presented as a contribution in the development of an archaeological conceptual framework and a multidisciplinary scientific approach to the study of historic wreck sites in the New World. Testable multiple working hypotheses are formulated to identify, describe, and explain the wreck site of Nuestra Senora de Atocha within the exigencies of a commercial salvage operation. Adaptive field strategies are developed for recording data concerning intra-site variability of the cultural and geological deposits. Methodological techniques including sea-bottom mapping, underwater photogrammetry, and sub-sea remote sensing for the recovery of horizontal and stratigraphic data are discussed. A plan to locate the primary cultural deposit with aerial photographic imagery is outlined. Baseline data are assembled for formulating operational guidelines for future archaeological research and resource management of historic wreck sites within shallow waters of the Inner Continental Shelf. Feasibility is demonstrated for the development of a procedural model for wreck site mitigation emphasizing cooperation within a salvage company. | |
