Research Group: Centre for Maritime Archaeology
The Centre for Maritime Archaeology provides a focus for maritime archaeological research at the University of Southampton.
Currently Active: Yes
Group Overview
Committed to the promotion and practice of maritime archaeology, we have provided world-class expertise in research and education since 1995. Over this period we have established strong links with other UK universities, overseas academic institutions and the commercial sector.
Our research and fieldschool projects have a global scope, from the Solent to South Asia. Much of the work conducted within the Centre is multidisciplinary in nature, drawing on the University's established excellence in marine geophysics, history, geography, English, web science, computing, ship science and marine geoarchaeology.
All of the above has served to place the Centre for Maritime Archaeology at the forefront of maritime archaeological theory, method and practice in the academic and commercial spheres.
