ABSTRACT

Photography plays an essential part in underwater archaeology as it is an extremely practical method of recording information. This chapter deals with the role of photography in the field and includes aspects of terrestrial and underwater photography, particularly general underwater photographic recording and recording aspects of the surface operation of the expedition or field work. Additionally, the use of video cameras and remote operating vehicles is discussed. Technical site recording photography and photogrammetry is dealt with in Chapter 6 and artifact photography is dealt with in Chapter 12.
