Thankyou, I recall this is a classic and one I want to refresh my memory
of as I live near Graveney.
I need to use my essay to explore the pros and cons of doing archaeology
underwater but sites like these will make useful comparisons. My next
essays/reports will give me the chance to look a wider range of maritime
sites.
best wishes,
Lisa
