Abstract (in English)

The expansion of coastal zones and the conglomeration of states throughout the world has led, in part, to the development of the concept of underwater cultural heritage (UCH) and its ensuing methodology within the discipline of maritime archaeology. The International Council of Monuments and Sites 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage (2001 Convention) allows for the availability of uch to be standardized and directly measured. This paper will trace the progression of the term uch through academic analysis of legislative statues and international conventions. It will also examine the way in which government management direction of heritage resources has – and continues to - alter and continues to do so according to ongoing political shifts towards centralization or de-centralization. The possibilities of the 2001 Convention will be explored through examination and comparison of the many organizations working within its remit, such as archaeological societies, university programs, shops and clubs. In order to absorb the ‘spirit of place’ must archaeologists not just allow for as many approaches as possible while gathering the resultant information.
