Description
Problem-oriented research is presented as a contribution in the
development of an archaeological conceptual framework and a multidisciplinary
scientific approach to the study of historic wreck sites
in the New World. Testable multiple working hypotheses are
formulated to identify, describe, and explain the wreck site of
Nuestra Senora de Atocha within the exigencies of a commercial salvage
operation. Adaptive field strategies are developed for recording
data concerning intra-site variability of the cultural and geological
deposits. Methodological techniques including sea-bottom mapping,
underwater photogrammetry, and sub-sea remote sensing for the
recovery of horizontal and stratigraphic data are discussed. A plan
to locate the primary cultural deposit with aerial photographic
imagery is outlined. Baseline data are assembled for formulating
operational guidelines for future archaeological research and
resource management of historic wreck sites within shallow waters
of the Inner Continental Shelf. Feasibility is demonstrated for
the development of a procedural model for wreck site mitigation
emphasizing cooperation within a salvage company.
