Underwater and maritime archaeology in Latin America and the Caribbean

"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.
