The coastal and seabed environments surrounding Sicily are layered with geological complexity and millennia of human history. In a recent high-resolution sub-bottom profiling survey conducted in Porto Empedocle harbor, high-resolution acoustic data were acquired that reflect this dual legacy. The work was part of a project encompassing underwater archaeological surveys for archaeological risk assessment in preparation for the creation of a route for a submarine pipeline near Porto Empedocle.

Using a GeoAcoustics GeoPulse Compact sub-bottom profiler paired with a Trimble Applanix POS MV WaveMaster inertial navigation system, the team mapped the stratigraphy of the harbor seabed with high resolution. The data set revealed soft silt deposits draped over Pliocene-aged gray clay from the Monte Narbonne Formation. A strong acoustic return at approximately 22-m depth—anomalous in character and potentially anthropogenic—was of particular interest.

This article outlines the tools and methodology employed, the workflows developed for data acquisition and processing, and a representative example from the data set. The Porto Empedocle survey demonstrates how modern remote sensing technologies, when applied with geological and historical awareness, can support both environmental monitoring and the safeguarding of submerged cultural heritage.

Indigenous Maritime Archaeology aims to broaden our understanding of the archaeological record worldwide both above and below the water’s surface by incorporating Indigenous histories and worldviews. It goes beyond simply studying sites underwater and encourages the active participation of Indigenous Peoples in Maritime Archaeology. This is in keeping with the growing awareness of Indigenous Archaeology both within the discipline and also with the greater public.

It goes beyond archaeological sites, the traditional territories of Indigenous Peoples and includes the entire archaeological record worldwide, including areas both in the near shore environment and offshore underwater. It may include typical underwater archaeological sites, such as shipwrecks, but it can also include other areas of interest, such as the study of Indigenous Mariculture, Cultural Landscapes and others.

The first Indigenous Maritime Archaeology conference in Canada took place on Saturday, April 15th in Vancouver, British Columbia. Topics included the archaeology of submerged sites in the Pacific Northwest Coast, environmental change over the years and how it has affected First Nations Culture and new perspectives on finding additional archaeological sites underwater.

This research topic provides a forum for publications resulting from the conference as well as others. It will feature articles that share information about research being done both in the Pacific Northwest Coast and other parts worldwide.

This Research Topic accepts the following article types, unless otherwise specified in the Research Topic description:

• Brief Research Report
• Case Report
• Classification
• Clinical Trial
• Editorial
• General Commentary
• Hypothesis and Theory
• Methods
• Mini Review
• … View all formats

Articles that are accepted for publication by our external editors following rigorous peer review incur a publishing fee charged to Authors, institutions, or funders.
