In Poseidon's Realm XX: Land unter!

In Poseidon's Realm XX

Who has not seen them: Pictures of the small “Hallig” islands in the North Sea mud flats surrounded by high tides or photographs of the former German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, wearing rubber boots and standing in the overflowing river Elbe? "Land unter!"

Flood control is not an invention of modern age. Man always attempted to avoid flooding of settlements and fertile grounds by digging sewers, building dikes and embankments or by other methods ‒ not always successfull. The Roman historian Cassius Dio e.g. tells us that during high water of the river Tiberis (Tevere) traffic on the Forum Romanum was possible only by boat (53, 33, 4). Nevertheless, such disaster often means a lucky coincidence for research. Especially, archaeology benefits particularly from destructions and the associated conditions of preservation. In this regard, above all, water plays an important role, because anaerobic environment is a prerequisite for the preservation of organic materials like wood, leather, textiles, relics of foodstuff and so on.

Such historically informative findings are cultural treasures rarely preserved in dry environment on land and met with only in especially favourable conditions. For this reason, the history of the protection of the cultural heritage under water as well as on land will be a main topic of the conference. Therefore, papers or posters describing the development of the idea of such protection and the way they are put into practice in the states of Germany as well as abroad are highly welcomed. Also, this topic is intended to underline the importance of Germany’s signing of the UNESCO Convention 2001 for the Protection of the Underwater Heritage, a signing very long waited for.

Furthermore, the subject area of the conference includes papers on new archaeological research of every kind and excavations below the ground water table as well as in salt and fresh waters. Brand-new methods and technologies of nautical, underwater and wetland archaeology will be as welcome as archaeological evidence of historical measures taken against flooding or rising ground water. So, “Land unter!” may be understood in more than one way.
