Abstract/Description
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...
Show moreProblem-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.

EXCAVATION OF A SUBMERGED SUB-TAINO SITE IN PUERTO RICO

EXCAVATION OF A SUBMERGED SUB-TAINO SITE IN PUERTO RICO.

Abstract/Description
Due to eustatic changes of sea level, tectonic activity, isostatic and compactional depression, and erosion, a considerable number of archaeological land sites are now underwater. East of San Juan, Puerto Rico, underwater archaeological excavation at Isla Verde site revealed a coastal settlement inhabited circa A.D. 800 by Arawak Neo-Indians. Classified in the Ostiones phase by its ceramic ware, the site preceded the Talno chiefdoms encountered by European explorers at the close of the...
Show moreDue to eustatic changes of sea level, tectonic activity, isostatic and compactional depression, and erosion, a considerable number of archaeological land sites are now underwater. East of San Juan, Puerto Rico, underwater archaeological excavation at Isla Verde site revealed a coastal settlement inhabited circa A.D. 800 by Arawak Neo-Indians. Classified in the Ostiones phase by its ceramic ware, the site preceded the Talno chiefdoms encountered by European explorers at the close of the fifteenth century. Built near the ocean, in a once secluded area surrounded by two lagoons and a mangrove belt, Isla Verde site was characterized by coastal and maritime adaptations such as shellfish collecting and the hunting of manatees and turtles. Cultivation of root crops was also part of the subsistence pattern. The site was submerged as a result of erosion produced by wave patterns diffracted by offshore reef patches. The archaeological potential and limitations of the site were evaluated, in conjunction with the recent geologic history of the area.
