“…The shadows cast behind an object, proud of the sea floor, are the telltale sign that an object has just been ensonified. On contrary, the geometry of a multibeam echosounder's transducer in relation to sea floor targets results in the loss of almost all shadowcasting capability making the side scan sonar more promising for shipwreck detection (Quinn et al, 2002, Papatheodorou et al, 2008a. …”

“…Although the use of marine magnetometer for detection of steel and historical wooden shipwrecks is well established and many papers have been published (e.g. Barto Arnold III, 1996, Quinn et al, 2002, Conlin and Russell, 2006, very few surveys have been carried out on ancient shipwreck sites and submerged ancient harbour. Greene et al (1967) carried out the first, as far as we know, magnetometer survey over an ancient shipwreck, the 4 B.C.…”

Modern underwater remote sensing technology introduces many advantages that extend the range of conventional diving work providing the means to survey in a detailed and systematic fashion large seafloor area. There are two general approaches regarding the application of these techniques in underwater archaeology; they are being increasingly used to identify, locate and map (i) ancient and historical shipwrecks lying on the seafloor or partly buried in it and (ii) the coastal palaeogeogra-phy and thus submerged sites of archaeological interest (submerged ancient cities, settlements, ports and man-made structures). The underwater remote sensing techniques most commonly applied to underwater archaeology employ: (i) single and multi-beam echosounders (ii) side scan sonar (acousting imaging), (iii) laser line scan (optical imaging) (iv) subbottom profiler, (v) marine magne-tometer and (vi) undersea vehicles. The objectives of this paper are twofold: (i) to present the results of remote sensing surveys that carried out at sites of archaeological and historical interest, in Greece (Dokos Island, ancient harbour of Kyllene and Navarino Bay whereas a historical naval Battle took place) and in Eastern Mediterranean Sea (Alexandria Egypt and Mazotos shipwreck Cyprus), and (ii) to prove the applicability of remote sensing techniques in underwater archaeology showing that a combination of these can be a very effective tool.

“…Meaningful examples of integrated geophysical surveys of wrecked ships are given, for example, in Arnold (1996), Quinn et al (1997) and Quinn et al (2002). The authors aimed to characterize the site and delineate the extent and geometry of the wrecks of the ships La Belle, Mary Rose and La Surveillante, respectively.…”

An application of magnetic survey to the submerged Roman ruins of the Bay of Baia, volcanic area of the Phlegrean Fields,Naples (southern Italy) is presented and discussed.The site of Baiae, one of the most extensive submerged archaeological sites knownin Italy, is characterized by urban sites with residential houses, thermal baths, fisheries and harbour buildings.The survey was aimed to establish the typical magnetic signatures of building structures submerged in a volcanic marine environment. The comparison of both the maps of the magnetic anomaly field and of the computed analytic signal with the known submerged archaeological structures of the area gave some interesting insights into the lithological characteristics ofthe archaeological structures ofthe Baiae site and showed the effectiveness of the magnetic method for mapping remnants of building structures beneath the sea bed.

“…blue biotechnology), many field of research benefited indeed from the capability to remotely investigate the submerged environment, from geology in first line, to biology, ecology and not last marine archaeology. Acoustic methods have been shown to be extremely useful where researchers need to 'visualise the submerged landscape' (giving them a model that displays the principal morphometric characteristics as well as important information about the nature of mapped materials) and therefore became extremely powerful to identify or inspect wrecks and other submerged evidence of human activity (See among others [2][3][4]). Human activity (that changed through historical times, according to social and economic development) can leave indeed important marks (i.e.…”
