   Underwater Archaeologist

purpose: the  purpose of my report is to show my audience about interesting things about  underwater archaeology.

To guide my research I asked Questions

What is an underwater archaeologist?

why are so they important?

What do they mostly study about?

What do they do underwater?

What is baleen made out of?

How far can divers go underwater before the pressure crushes them?

what kind of people are involved in underwater archaeology?

what kind of schooling is required for underwater archaeology?

what does a underwater archaeology do?

Notes:

Dark ghost shark: cuvier Island coromandel -Depth 329 to 366m.

Black dragon fish: challenger plateau Depth 900m.

Vent worms: Most of the world’s known hydrothermal vents are covered in vent worms.

A top kermadec predator: Galapagos shark. Found in west of Napier Island, Kermadec Islands Depth 55 to 80m.

Angler fish: The baby fish is attach beneath the female fish (mum fish).

Answer to the questions:

1) Underwater archaeology is simply done underwater. Shipwrecks are the most common site studied.

2) Archaeology is the closest thing we have to a time machine. Its is the only way we can know the unrecorded, and sometimes even the recorded, past. History may be written by the victorious, but archaeology is the most common people.

3) shipwrecks.

4) They look for stuff from the past and stuff that we haven’t seen before but mostly they will find shipwrecks.

5) Baleen is made out of keratin. The same stuff you finger nails are made out of.

6) Water won’t crush you at any depth if you are able to fill your body (lungs, middle ear) with compressed air at the same pressure as the water.

7) marine biology.

8) in order to be an underwater archaeologist you would need a minimum of an undergraduate degree in a suitable subject and a diving certificate.   

9) plenty. to discover the buried history. they uncover history.
