Did you know that archaeology isn’t just about digging on land? There is archaeology to be found under the sea, from shipwrecks to prehistoric landscapes!

The continued growth of offshore development for renewable energy is giving archaeologists better views of the seabed around the UK than ever before. Archaeologists find and interpret marine archaeology, such as ship and plane wrecks, as well as landscapes that have been submerged since the end of the last Ice Age.

Join Wessex Archaeology to celebrate Maritime Week UK by getting hands-on with marine archaeology. Discover how artefacts are found on the sea bed, what we do with them and experience diving on a wreck for yourself with our virtual reality experience.
