Introduction The Diary Documents The forum ... Return to the main website Presentation of the Project Version tahitienne Version marquisienne Underwater archaeological expert survey at the bottom of Le Rabot on Hiva Oa Island While on a leisure dive, Mr Philippe Penot has discovered at the place known as "Le Rabot", at depths ranging from 10 to 30 meters, an area providing shaped stones which may once have been used in fishing activities. The finding of this site was declared by its finder to the competent authorities. In order to help make an inventory of the French Polynesia underwater archaeological sites, conduct surveys, enhance the understanding of the underwater sites made up of an accumulation of stone artifacts, draw up a typology of the stone objects (especially anchors and fishing weights) and investigate a possible link between this underwater site and some neighboring land sites, the GRAN in Polynesia is going to conduct an expert and assessment survey of the site. These works will take place from Feb 26 thru March 11. The site survey will aim at: evaluating its area, estimating the number of artifacts, studying the type of the objects, implementing the mapping and bathymetric chart, as well as investigating the nearby shore and adjoining valleys. The first week will be dedicated to the underwater survey, the second one to the land search, but depending on the weather conditions this program may be modified.
