Who Owns Underwater
Cultural Heritage?
Perspectives on
Archaeological Law and
Ethics in the Mediterranean

Archaeologists working in territorial
and international waters discuss which
legal and ethical standards direct our
collective responsibility as stewards of
world cultural heritage and address the
guidelines for archaeological practice
outlined in the 2001 United Nations
Educational, Scientific, and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) Convention
on the Protection of Underwater
Cultural Heritage, which took effect
in 2009. Co-sponsored by the Penn
