The Basics of Marine Archaeology Course offers a clear, well-explained introduction to the underwater clues that help us piece together the story of humankind.

Whether you’re fascinated by shipwrecks, ancient coastlines or submerged cities, this course blends storytelling with science to keep things interesting. You'll learn how experts analyse underwater finds, what tools are used, and how discoveries are recorded and preserved.
