French Archaeology’s Long March to the Deep—The Lune Project: Building the Underwater Archaeology of the Future
Abstract
This paper describes our project to study the wreck of the Lune and the determination of French archaeologists to develop viable techniques for working on deep-water wrecks. We begin by sketching out the general context of underwater archaeology in France before describing in detail our long march to the deep. We conclude with an overview of the Corsaire Concept project for deep sea archaeology.
