Summary:

The book expounds the research potential of the early prehistoric archaeological resource concealed beneath the ocean and highlights an urgent need for cultural heritage management. The several thousand early prehistoric sites dealt with here represent a mere fraction of what would be discovered, given the application of qualified and systematic survey and reconnaissance methods.
