Folks, Today we bring you the second post in a series about the Maryland Maritime Archaeology Program’s investigation of a war of 1812 wreck. Dr. Susan Langley discusses previous research including some of the artifacts they are using to help identify the site. The post also includes a slideshow of the team preparing a gradiometer for deployment. You can read Dr. Langley's post by clicking the link on our home page here: http://www.themua.org Also coming soon… The Inaugural Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Underwater Cultural Heritage begins next week in Manila, Philippines (http://www.apconf.org/). Are you unable to attend? Never fear, the conference organizers have partnered with the MUA to post the proceedings online. Every paper will be freely available in an effort to share this information with a worldwide audience. Look for this outstanding collection of over 80 presentations and posters on the MUA’s new research tool website in the coming weeks. Best regards, T. Kurt Knoerl Director The MUA http://www.themua.org
