Bulgaria: Nessebar Underwater Archaeology

The Bulgarian Underwater Archaeology field school provides a comprehensive training in underwater archaeological methods through participation in an ongoing research project: discovering the submerged heritage of ancient Mesambria, present-day Nessebar (UNESCO World Heritage Site) on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast. Today, significant parts of the ancient town are below sea level. Remains of fortification walls, towers, staircases, gates and other structures from Classical and Hellenistic period, Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages were traced in various sectors around the peninsula. The dynamic coastal landscape of the town makes it an ideal location to experience multiple aspects of maritime archaeology. Students will be trained  in various underwater archaeology and interdisciplinary practices: underwater reconnaissance survey, archaeological excavations, underwater photography, photogrammetry and 3D modeling, mapping and recording of submerged archaeological structures and monuments, marine geophysical survey, creating a GIS database, etc. Our research aims to fill in the gaps in our knowledge of the fortification system of Mesambria and its harbors, the changes to the coastal landscape and the fluctuation of the Black Sea level in Antiquity and the Middle Ages, and the societal reactions and adaptations to these changes. This program aims to broaden the knowledge and refine the skills of participating students, and thus enhance their career in Maritime Archaeology.

This is an underwater Cultural Resource Management (CRM) field school. It is designed to train students for the specific needs of marine CRM and as a job training program. Students seeking training in academic underwater archaeology may participate but need to understand that the program will have significant concentration on compliance, legal frameworks of marine CRM and immersion in consultation practices.

2024 US PA Lake Erie

Cultural Resource Management, the legally required management and protection of our shared heritage, requires archaeologists to do more than just archaeology. CRM requires an understanding of legal frameworks, professional ethics, consultation, and project management. Conducting CRM in an underwater environment also requires specialized skills in marine remote sensing, landscape reconstruction, and, occasionally, SCUBA diving. This field school teaches the skills of underwater Cultural Resource Management through research on the submerged landscapes of Lake Erie. This program will not focus on shipwrecks (the more academic side of marine archaeology) but on understanding submerged landscape as this is the mainstay of Marine CRM work and where the greatest need for trained marine CRM professionals is. The skills taught in this course are similar to those employed in CRM to identify sites prior to offshore energy (wind, oil, and gas) development. This course is appropriate for students interested in both Cultural Resource Management and traditional academic archaeology in an underwater environment.

Until approximately 4,000 years ago, Lake Erie was lower than it is today, leaving large swaths of the modern lake bottom open for habitation. During earlier times, the lake basin contained two smaller lakes connected by a wetland and stream. This mixture of environments would have been attractive to humans, and the quick filling of the basin likely preserved sites in situ. By combining marine remote sensing, geoarchaeology, and Indigenous knowledge, we will identify areas on the lake floor that likely contain submerged habitation sites.

Exciting Opportunities for Early Career Researchers

The Unpath’d Waters project is currently looking to recruit two short-term post-graduate or post-doctoral research associates with a passion for maritime archaeology to help us in two key areas of our project. Both posts will be recruited to Bangor University and are for three-month fixed term contracts. Both roles are suitable for 100% remote working and will be available from December 2023 with work to be completed by April 2024. Please see attached document for more details.

Role 1: Data archives and wreck identification

This role will be to help identify located but unnamed wrecks in the Irish Sea. The successful applicant will identify, collate and research maritime archives (analogue and digital) associated with specific vessel losses in the Irish Sea and support the integration of these records with outputs from multibeam sonar surveys of wreck sites to facilitate vessel/wreck identification. This is a superb opportunity to work on a major national inter-disciplinary project with experts in the field of maritime archaeology and ocean sciences. The role would be supported by the research team leader based at Bangor University and will have a clear focus on identifying a number of vessels lost during WWI off the west coast of the Isle of Man. The role will involve close collaboration with external project partners to support the development of innovative and effective mechanisms to link related maritime archives, marine data and museum related collections at a national and local level. Your contributions will be recognised fully in the products of Unpath’d Waters, which completes in November 2024.

Role 2: Marine Data Standards Guidance development

The key aim for this post is to revise the Archaeology Data Service (ADS) Guides to Good Practice relevant to marine geophysical survey. The new guide will play a crucial role in combining existing guidance notes and recommendations from the national heritage bodies, leading researchers and practitioners into a single unified and accessible resource. The new guide will cover the whole lifecycle of a project, from design phase through to deposition of a digital archive. It will need to include and reference the requirements of funders from across the UK heritage sector, as well as incorporate guidance and standards from key partners dealing with maritime environment data including MEDIN and NERC Environmental Data Service. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on a major national project and with experts in the field of maritime archaeology. The role would also be supported by a data standards specialist from the ADS to advise on technical aspects such and how to structure the research. The final output will be the first of the new generation of Guides to Good Practice documents and would be hosted with the ADS with a DOI for citation purposes. While the role will be recruited to Bangor University, the successful applicant will also work closely with project team members based in the Archaeology Data Service (ADS) at the University of York.
