Underwater Metal Detection
Metal detectors are commonly attributed to treasure hunting rather than to archaeology or to cultural heritage management. However, there are archaeological sites where the systematic use of metal detecting technology has provided with evidence that would not have been discovered by other means or even would have been lost by construction engineering activities or by erosion. UwArc, assigned by cultural heritage management institutions, has used metal detectors in different archaeological environments dating from prehistoric up to modern time periods. UwArc´s most spectacular respective success was the discovery of copper pendants dating back to the 4th millennium BC.
