Résumé en anglais
The expansion of coastal zones and the conglomeration of statesthroughout the world has led, in part, to the development of the concept of
underwater cultural heritage (UCH) and its ensuing methodology within thediscipline of maritime archaeology. The International Council of Monuments and
Sites 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of Underwater CulturalHeritage (2001 Convention) allows for the availability of uch to be standardized
and directly measured. This paper will trace the progression of the term uchthrough academic analysis of legislative statues and international conventions. It
will also examine the way in which government management direction of heritageresources has – and continues to - alter and continues to do so according to
ongoing political shifts towards centralization or de-centralization. Thepossibilities of the 2001 Convention will be explored through examination and
comparison of the many organizations working within its remit, such asarchaeological societies, university programs, shops and clubs. In order to absorb
the ‘spirit of place’ must archaeologists not just allow for as many approaches aspossible while gathering the resultant information.
