Archaeology Month: Chris Southerly and Tane Casserley

Описание: “Hidden Beneath the Waves: Exploring the Underwater Cultural Heritage of N.C.,” Chris Southerly, Assistant State Archaeologist and Tane Casserley, Maritime Archaeologist and Research Coordinator with NOAA Monitor National Marine Sanctuary

Chris Southerly and Tane Casserley dive into inter-agency partnerships to discover, research, and protect the hallmarks of North Carolina’s maritime cultural heritage: shipwrecks. North Carolina waters have long been known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic, with thousands of shipwrecks occurring over hundreds of years. These shipwrecks hold information about changing technologies and cultural and physical landscapes. Protected by the N.C. Underwater Archaeology Branch and NOAA National Marine Sanctuaries, these troves of data continue to offer stories of North Carolina’s deep maritime culture.
