The law of the sea treaty and underwater cultural resources. David R. Watters - Estados Unidos-US : Society for American Archaeology, 1983. - páginas 806-816: ilustraciones en blanco y negro. - Trimestral - vol.48; no. 4 (Oct.1983) - no.3 . - Soociety for American Archaeology. .
The convention on the Law of the Sea, the culminating document of the third united nations conference on the law of the sea, received favorable votes from 130 states in april 1982. The United States voted against approval. Articles 149 and 303, which address archaeological and historical objects found in various ocean zones, are compromise measures with ambigous texts that are subject to interpretation. Archaeologists generally, not simply underwater archaeologists, should be concerned with these provisions because they could set an unfortunate precedent for future international negotiations involving cultural resources, and because they may apply to inundated prehistoric sites as well as to shipwrecks.
