MARINE ARCHAEOLOGY SEEKING NOAH'S FLOOD
Offshore Synope, Turkey, in the Black Sea -- Jim Newman,
Woods Hole Marine Systems Inc.
aboard the Northern Horizon for the Black Sea Project writes
Oceansp@ce with this on-scene report. "There's been lots of
news in the press about Dr. Bob Ballard's latest archaeological
expedition in the Black Sea, including lots of conjecture about
Noah's flood. Apparently there hasn't been much about the
technology, so to fill in some of the gaps, here's a quick
summary. The side-scan sonar system used to find targets is the
DSL-120, a deep-towed 120-kHz bathymetric mapping system
owned and operated by Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution's Deep Submergence Lab, the JASON folks. The
visual imaging system consists of two vehicles, a
towsled/depressor called Argus, which provides wide-area
lighting and eye-in-the-sky cameras, and a small ROV called
Little Hercules, designed as a platform for high quality video.
The latter is tethered to the towsled. All communications are on
optical fiber."
Both vehicles are brand new, 3,000-meter systems designed
and built for Ballard's Institute for Exploration by Woods Hole
Marine Systems. Development was funded primarily by the
U.S. National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration and the
National Geographic Society.
The ship, the Northern Horizon, is a 70-meter North Sea trawler
converted to survey work, with dynamic positioning and a
Dynacon Inc. (Bryan, Texas) winch/A-frame setup. "The
hardware is all working well, so the technical types are having a
great time operating it all and watching the archaeologists and
other assorted players doing their things," Newman wrote.
There is more information at Institute for Exploration,
National Geographic, and
Wood's Hole Marine Systems, Inc.. Correspondent Newman wrote a
paper with Ballard and Coleman for delivery at Oceans 2000
MTS/IEEE last week in Providence, Rhode Island.
