MARITIME ARCHAEOLOGY:-

           
                 Marine Archaeology or Maritime Archaeology often referred as nautical or underwater archaeology. Ita mainly focuses on the relationship between man and water bodies and records activities that are reflected through the material remains. It concerns documentation, investigation and recovery of material remains and physical traces of maritime communities, technologies and practices.

                                

                                 
                    Maritime archaeology is defined as "the scientific study of material remains of man and his activities on the sea" (Mucklroy 1978). 
                      The main objective of maritime archaeology includes trade, commerce, exchange, water transport technology, seafaring, coastal settlement, ports and harbours. We must make a note of it that it doesn't includes the study of shipwreck or their construction technology or techniques. Marine Archaeologists survey maritime sites in order to gain information that have potential to reconstruct the victorious maritime history of humankind.
