Abstract

Bibliographical note

Funding Information:
The 2011 excavation at Atlit-Yam was undertaken within the framework of a field school organized by the Israel Antiquities Authority, the Leon Recanati Institute for Maritime Studies and the Zinman Institute of Archaeology, both at the University of Haifa. Other associated institutions included The Israel Prehistoric Society, The Department of Anatomy and Anthropology, Faculty of Medicine at the Tel-Aviv University and the Eco-Ocean organisation. The entire activity was supported and funded by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) Trans-Domain Action TD0902 SPLASHCOS, with a contribution also coming from Alpha-Zoulou Films (a Canadian production company), who filmed the process and interviewed the team as part of a scientific documentary. Other supporters of the Atlit-Yam project included: The National Geographic Foundation, The Irene Levi Care Archaeological Foundation, The Dan David Foundation, The Margolis Foundation, the Honor Frost Foundation and the Leplestat family. We are grateful to them all. Last but not least, we thank all the divers and the volunteers and the underwater photographers J. Galili, I. Greenberg and A. Zaid.
