The most influential period in subaquatic archeology arises from the period 1490 a. C to 1868, it is the longest of the periods defined for the history of aquatic archeology. It is characterized by the development of all kinds of gadgets to satisfy one of the oldest desires of man: to move through the bottom of the waters.
The methods used in subaquatic archeology are not as easy to learn as terrestrial archeology. Archeology is scientific a branch that arises from archaeological practice and whose greatest relevance is that it develops in a completely different way from terrestrial archeology.
And will continue to be, the investigation of past societies through its material remains, and the subsequent dissemination of the studies made to the general public. The archaeologists underwater do not do more than adapting the methodology of terrestrial archeology to a different medium.
It would be impossible to summarize in a few pages or words, all methods and techniques, present and past, which have been developed
for this specialty and even less to group all the archaeological tendencies that have affected their developing.
Many authors have undertaken that task in numerous articles. Therefore, in these lines we will only raise an approximation to understand the difficulties and advantages with which the underwater archaeologists work day by day and we will try to understand the magnitude of this work to be able to clarify the importance of archeology as a part of its multidisciplinary mechanism.
This paper wil in this work we will talk about aquatic archaeologist is to investigate and know better the physical environment where s/he must work, how are the aquatic archaeological sites that have to locate, with their characteristics and peculiarities, which are the different methods that exist to prospect, so that finally is able to choose the most appropriate methodology for each specific problem.
