| Organisation Profile |
Created in March 2004, on the initiative of young archaeology researchers and professional divers keen to pool their skills, Arkaeos works towards the development of underwater archaeology. The organization manages field operations as well as educational and valorization activities about cultural maritime heritage. Its activities are carried out in partnership with public bodies ensuring either their scientific credibility and "good practices" guidelines, or the information dissemination to the scientific community and the general public (DRASSM/MCC, CNRS, University, Museums, National Park Services…).
Meanwhile, Arkaeos carries out specific actions to promote maritime heritage.
The Gyptis, a sailing replica of a Greek boat from the 6th century BC, built from the model of remains discovered in Marseille and launched in 2013, has been the subject of numerous conferences and scientific publications but also presentations. |
