Much of history lies below the surface
BY EIICHI MIYASHIRO AND YUKI OGAWA
THE ASAHI SHIMBUN

Research of ruins on seabeds and in lakes or rivers is increasing in Japan, where many sites are yet to be fully explored.
In Kushimoto in Wakayama Prefecture, the U.S.-based Institute of Nautical Archaeology held an excavation survey January and February of the Ertugrul, a Turkish warship that went down off the coast during the Meiji Era (1868-1912).
The 2,344-ton wooden battleship of the Ottoman Empire's navy was on its return voyage after paying a courtesy call on Emperor Meiji in 1890 when the ship was caught in a storm, run aground and went down.
All but 69 of the 650 souls on board perished in the disaster.
The story of the brave rescue efforts by local residents remains a part of Turkish historical lore to this day.
The survey team, led by Turkish archaeologist Tufan Turanli, consisted of members from Turkey, Spain and Japan. The survey began in fiscal 2006.
This year, the team salvaged 3,513 items, including armaments, broken ceramic pieces, coins and a large cooking pot.
Turanli said at a meeting on the finds said that the team was able to salvage three times as many relics as last year. He said survey was providing valuable insight into the military during the last days of the Ottoman Empire.
He talked about the difficulties of underwater exploration--a single hour spent underwater requires 20 hours of preparation on land.
Since relics lying at the bottom of the sea for decades can seriously degrade when brought to the surface, they must undergo a slow desalination and conservation process.
Sinking below the surface
The Sone ruins at the bottom of Lake Suwako in Nagano Prefecture were discovered 100 years ago this year. Thousands of years ago, they were built on dry land.
The ruins in the lake date back about 10,000 years to the Paleolithic Age through the beginning of the Jomon Pottery Culture (c. 8000 B.C.-300 B.C.)

"The ruins are likely to have been submerged when the level of Lake Suwako rose, starting in the early Jomon period," Satoshi Tanaka, a municipal employee of the Suwa city government, said. Last year, he organized a special exhibition of the ruins.
Tetsuya Mikami, a high school teacher in Suwa who compiled a report on the ruins, said, "Not many sites from the beginning of the Jomon period have produced relics of this scale."
He hopes to isolate and drain water from the area containing the ruins to conduct a proper excavation.
Underwater archaeology became an active area of research in Japan starting in the 1970s, when the full-scale investigation of a sunken ship was undertaken for the first time.
The ship was Kaiyo Maru, a warship of the Tokugawa Shogunate that sank off the coast of Esashi in Hokkaido.
In a survey undertaken in 2000, the Agency for Cultural Affairs identified 216 underwater ruins in Japan.

"Research is yet to proceed fully and perhaps there are more than twice that number," said Shinsuke Araki, a director of the nonprofit organization Japan Conservation Project. Araki is an expert on underwater ruins.
Although studying underwater ruins requires diligence and patience, there are quite a few advantages associated with the work, Araki said.
"In sunken ships, the living environment is preserved as is. They are like time capsules," he said.
Also, wood articles that would rot on land often remain to some degree intact.
Treasures of Egypt
Underwater exploration is catching on with the public in Japan.
The graduate school of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology plunged into the water in April when it began offering a course on nautical archaeology.
"We are the first in Japan to set up a specialized educational system," Akifumi Iwabuchi, professor of marine anthropology, said.

In June, an exhibition in Yokohama will open, featuring items excavated at underwater ruins of Alexandria in Egypt. "Egypt's Sunken Treasures" is organized by The Asahi Shimbun.
Global interest in underwater archaeology is growing.
In 2001, UNESCO adopted the Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage, which took effect in January of this year.
The treaty stipulates that "underwater cultural heritage shall not be commercially exploited" and regulates the activities of treasure hunters.
Japan, however, has not ratified the treaty since "the existence of the treaty may affect Japan's ocean policy," according to Kae Oyama, an associate professor of international law at Chukyo University.

The UNESCO treaty gives authority to coastal nations to ban exploring and salvaging of ruins and relics located within a 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ) or on continental shelves even beyond the zone.
While commending the treaty in general terms, Oyama said it needs to be examined carefully since "this treaty could become the model when international agreements are negotiated on marine genetic resources in waters beyond a nation's jurisdiction."
Japan has no law concerning ruins or relics located in its EEZ or on continental shelves beyond its territorial waters.
Araki of the Japan Conservation Project said, "The government should view cultural heritage as an important issue concerning the sea and formulate a comprehensive national policy."(IHT/Asahi: May 15,2009)

The other day I reported my discovery to SCI- FI- TV- Channel & UNESCO head-quarters in France, of ( the ' original ')Atlantis in the PORT of ADEN- Crater at a Depth of only 50 meters.( Read my
Blue's subscript
!)
( Falsh tradition has it that Attlantis sunk in the western Ocean at a depth of 150 meters in 10.000 bc.)
But the UNESCO -office was not intrested, so why would a Turkish Ship sunk off japan in 1895 be a UNESCO- Project ?!
