Teledyne Marine – Exploring the Archaeology of an Ancient Naval Battle Using a State of the Art AUV

For over an entire decade, the Sicilian Superintendence of the Sea together with RPM Nautical, has explored the seabed  off the Egadi Islands off Trapani. This ambitious and unique project produced some incredible results including, but not limited to, the discovery of numerous bronze rams. Despite the success of the first phases of the project it became clear that a new approach was necessary to survey the site in a more efficient manner. Since 2019, the University of Malta has partnered the Superintendence and RPM – specifically through the deployment of its Automated Underwater Vehicle. This talk will introduce the battle of the Egadi Islands and will also share some highlights and discoveries from the initial phases of the project. The main part of the presentation will cover the methodologies developed in the context of this project, how these complimented existing work and what results have been achieved so far.

In order to meet our commitment to the European Convention on the Protection of Archaeological Heritage (revised) 1992 and to provide for the conservation and enhancement of significant marine heritage assets, Historic England is seeking to procure, within a Framework Agreement, assessment functions to support marine protection and management for the two-year period April 2022 to March 2024 (inclusive).

As part of the response to the Marine Review, HE has determined to replace the historic, single contractor approach with a Framework Agreement. This is to provide a more flexible response utilising a wider range of specialist contractors and thereby helping to support and develop capacity in the sector.
The projects covered by this Framework Agreement will address those sites and assets most at risk through neglect, decay or other threats within UK territorial waters adjacent to England.
