The Discovery of Ernest Shackleton's Endurance and Underwater Archaeology in CRM - Ep 239

The CRM Archaeology Podcast

MEMBERS - Check the ad-free page for a bonus segment!

The incredible discovery in March 2022 of Ernest Shackleton's Endurance on the Antarctic sea floor leads to a discussion about the exciting future of underwater archaeology in CRM. Underwater archaeologist, Bill Burns, joins us to shed light on the incredible recent discovery of the Endurance and how it was made possible by new technology, archival research and the skillful navigation skills of Shackleton’s crew. Bill also shares his path and experiences of working as an underwater archaeologist in CRM and how, although it is highly specialized, the subdiscipline is finding a growing market in CRM. In the members only segment, Andrew and Bill “nerd out” on SCUBA technology and methods. If you aren’t a member but are a SCUBA enthusiast or just curious, the bonus segment is definitely worth the price of admission!
