The Underwater World of George Bass
By Dale Keiger


For Web information on nautical archaeology, start with Florida State University's index of Web sites [ http://ocean.fsu.edu/oce/dive/uwdirect.html ]. It includes links to indices of other university programs, institutes, museums, current projects, and in a link that's bound to set George Bass to grinding his teeth, info on treasure hunters.

The INA has its own site [ http://nautarch.tamu.edu/napina.htm]. You'll go blind if you spend too much time trying to read the type on the opening page, but things get better at the INA Quarterly link [ http://nautarch.tamu.edu/ina/quarter/quarter.htm], where you can find, among other things, Cemal Pulak's report on the final 1994 excavation at Uluburun. You can follow the progress of another INA excavation, this one at Bozburun, at its own page [ http://nautarch.tamu.edu/projects/bozhome.htm]. The particularly cool thing here is a link [ http://nautarch.tamu.edu/projects/bozburun/amph3.wrl] to a three-dimensional model of the wreck site that you can "swim" through if your computer and browser support VRML, the Web's virtual reality protocol.

Texas A&M's nautical archaeology program has a separate and much better designed homepage [ http://nautarch.tamu.edu/index.htm]. You'll find information on the university's program, news and research notes, and a page for the Conservation Research Laboratory, which studies methods for preserving what the divers bring up from the seabed.
