Nautical Archaeology Society Course

[artw]

Save Ontario Shipwrecks (SOS) Ottawa Chapter is hosting a NAS 1 course August 27-29, 2004. NAS I introduces participants to archaeology in general and shipwreck archaeology in particular and includes practical sessions on underwater surveying techniques. Participants should be prepared to “get wet” as there is both a pool session and a dives on a real shipwreck.

for more information please read the NAS 1 site

I've made this a "sticky" to encourage anyone to take it who has a love of wrecks, and would like to learn more on how they should be mapped, and detailed so the information can be preserved.

It's a great course, and I recommend it. Just think if you get this certification, and happen on a u/w archeology site being examined, if you present your NAS credentials, you may be allowed to join in.

Now that's something I did not know. I've been interested in the course for a while - if I'm not mistaken POW Kingston has been trying to organize this course too. It's kind of unfortunate that my mixed-up schedule has prevented my attendance thus far.........

THey had 2 or 3 in Hamilon last year. One was organized by SOS Toronto and another by Hamilton - you may try to contact both and see what you can find

Defenitely a neat course

SOS Toronto seems to have dropped off of the map again. Try Hamilton. They were doing alot with the Millenium wrecks

Hi

Wow! how times are changing, I took an archaeology course once, but all we learned was how to swing a hammer and chissel. I guess those days are gone, and now it power tools and torches. I wonder what happened to all the stuff from the Tiller wreck before they gave up its location. LOL
