Title: Underwater and maritime archaeology in Latin America and the Caribbean
Description: "In the last 20 years, archaeologists have been fighting the battle against treasure hunters in an attempt to preserve resources as a source of cultural heritage, rather than allow them to be viewed solely as a means for financial reward. Case studies written primarily by Latin American and Caribbean archaeologists demonstrate exciting and cutting-edge research, conservation, site preservation, and interpretation. As a result, this book documents the emerging research interests of maritime archaeologists in Latin America and the Caribbean."--BOOK JACKET.
