Hydrographic data often makes an important contribution to archaeological research and discoveries at sea or on inland waterways. But often the contact between hydrographers and archaeologists is quite limited, despite more and more new activities developing at sea and more and more hydrographic data being collected and analyzed by archaeologists.
During this meeting, three speakers will provide perspectives on the collaboration between hydrographers and archaeologists, the use of hydrographic data within archaeological studies, challenges for archaeologists as a result of commission documents with a hydrographic perspective. By providing insights into each other's work, hopefully a bridge can be built between both disciplines.
