Description

Underwater archaeological work at the University of Nottingham has a focus on submerged settlements including the excavation of lake dwellings in Scotland as well as major projects investigating the ancient sunken city of Pavlopetri in Greece and surveying the 17th-century pirate town of Port Royal in Jamaica. The centre is focused on developing innovative techniques in the survey of underwater cultural heritage sites.

The Centre has a particular expertise in rapid underwater survey, using cutting-edge optical and acoustic techniques, to create accurate 3D visualisations of submerged sites.
