The latest edition of our archaeology podcast, Archaeocast, is now online.

Listen to Archaeocast 11 to get a sense of what it is like to dive a shipwreck, including a live interview with one of our divers direct from the seabed. This edition of Archaeocast is presented by Gemma Ingason, outreach officer for our Heritage Lottery Funded coastal and marine archaeology programme, Time Travelling by Water.

Archaeocast joins our coastal and marine dive team on board the Wessex Explorer.

Divers Graham Scott, Matt Astill and Niall Callan explain the work that Wessex Archaeology do in support of the Protection of Wrecks Act (1973). During this dive they investigate the Norman’s Bay wreck and Matt describes it to us from below the waves.

This is the first archaeocast recorded by Time Travelling by Water, our marine and coastal outreach project, which is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
