Front cover of "Beneath the Inland Seas: Michigan's Underwater Archaeological Heritage"Beneath the Inland Seas: Michigan's Underwater Archaeological Heritage, edited by State Archaeologist John R. Halsey and State Maritime Archaeologist Wayne R. Lusardi
In addition to historical background material, this 112-page volume provides information on new discoveries, new ideas and new facilities regarding underwater archaeology over the last twenty years.
A major addition are vignettes of 19 shipwrecks, including at least one from each of 11 Michigan bottomland preserves--the areas where there are the greatest concentration of shipwrecks and are protected by the state--written by the archaeologists, historians and sport divers who know them best.
