Archeologia subacquea. La storia di Roma riemerge dal Mediterraneo: 20 febbraio 2019 Parco Archeologico di Ostia Antica

Il 20 febbraio alle ore 16.30 l'Antiquarium di Ostia antica ospita Roberto Petriaggi, archeologo subacqueo direttore di "Archaeologia Maritima Mediterranea". Con il Direttore del Parco archeologico di Ostia antica, Mariarosaria Barbera, parlerà di archeologia subacquea nei mari italiani e di archelogia navale.

L'archeologia subacquea è una branca affascinante dell'archeologia: dai fondali marini emergono relitti che ci raccontano i commerci e i trasporti dei popoli antichi del Mediterraneo. In alcune circostanze, poi, come nel caso di Baia, i fondali custodiscono edifici e porzioni di città che un tempo erano emerse, ma che il mare nel corso dei secoli ha sommerso. 

Come sempre l'evento è gratuito. Per partecipare occorre prenotare via e-mail all'indirizzo: pa-oant.comunicazione@beniculturali.it

The members of the Wild Boars youth football team faced certain death during what looked like an unfolding tragedy.

But then, against all the odds, came the images of the boys being brought out of the flooded cave network one by one, thanks to the heroic efforts of Chris and a crack team of highly ... CONTINUE READING TO SOMERSETLIFE

5th European Conference on ​Scientific Diving , 24 - 27 April 2019 ​Institute of Oceanology, Polish Academy of Sciences, ​Sopot, Poland

“ECSD5 2019” is the fifth “European Conference on Scientific Diving” organised by the IO PAN Scientific Diving TEAM, in Sopot, first time in Poland. 

Conferences of this series were originally initiated by the European Scientific Diving Panel in 2015 by combining “The Research in Shallow Marine and Fresh Water Systems" and “The International Symposium on Occupational Scientific Diving" into one general meeting held once a year. 

The intent of ECSD is to provide a large, international forum for presenting the latest research results carried out in Europe using diving. ECSD conferences each time attract European leaders in the field of scientific diving and provide a convenient platform for exchanging experiences, establishing new contacts and future collaboration. Organizers wish to gather a broad group of international specialists as well as to consolidate the Polish scientific diving community (limited to max. 100 people). Participation from Early Career Researchers is strongly encouraged!
