We have been searching and recovering shipwrecks in the Caribbean under contract with the government since 1985. We have located 32 shipwrecks so far and recovered over 12,000 artifacts! As part of our contract we have held field schools for students of archaeology with Oxford and NOVA.
We have been thinking about adding a field school for the general diving public to teach how to magnetometer looking for sites, how to grid and excavate a site using dredges and airlifts, how to identify and conserve artifacts that are recovered etc.
This is a lot of ground to cover so like our other field schools it would probably be a two-week course. We may could offer a crash course in one week but two would be better. We could offer certifications for Shipwreck Survey Tech & Shipwreck Salvage Tech.
If the response is good enough we will put it into motion if not...oh well. Check out the attachment to see what wrecks we are working on and tell me what you think of our idea and check out our site: OldShip.org
