NAS Project Archive
NAS projects offer members a way of
getting more involved in underwater archaeological investigations.
They are also a good place to add to your qualifications - field
schools are a good opportunity to carry out a Part II survey,
and are often associated with Part III courses. They also offer
the opportunity to have a good time diving some new sites!

The far side of the World: HMS Swift Project 2004
At the NAS conference of 2003, Dr Dolores Elkin of
the National Institute of Anthropology, Argentina, gave us all a
fascinating talk about HMS Swift, a British sloop of war, that had
sank in Argentine waters in 1770. At the conference, she kindly
invited NAS members to participate in the next season's survey work.
The expedition took place in the last 2 weeks of November 2004...

Dorset WreckMap 2001
The WreckMap 2001 project centred on Studland Bay in Dorset, an area
of high archaeological potential. It
aimed to test a methodology for an effective multi-disciplinary approach
to seabed evaluation, while encouraging public involvement within a
modest project budget.
