| Description | Underwater archaeology in the Czech Republic is not a tradition yet, despite the fact that in the State list of archaeological sites of the CR there are about 800 known archaeological sites under water (or partly submerged). Under the auspices of the Department of Archaeology and Museology of the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University, we decided to change this situation. The article is focused on the origins of the Czech underwater archaeology and its potential. In 2015, we conducted three Exploration surveys of archaeological sites under water. The main objective of the research was to compare the methodology of underwater archeology in different underwater conditions – a watercourse (Elbe river, Thaya river) and water area (Orlík dam). |
