High resolution seafloor mapping for underwater archaeology in the Venice Lagoon (2022)

unapi

Although much work has been done over the past 60 years to investigate the underwater archaeological remains in the Venice Lagoon, often the findings lack high-resolution mapping and positioning. The recent application of high resolution multibeam echosounder and sub-bottom profiler, not only allows for paleoenvironmental reconstruction, but it also provides new evidence of the presence of archaeological structures both over and within the seafloor. The new extensive mapping together with selective video inspections support a new interpretation and quantitative description of underwater and buried structures. The new maps represent the starting point for a reinvigorated effort to discover, document, and preserve the highly valuable underwater archaeological heritage in the Venice Lagoon.
