Abstract

In the by now long history of underwater archaeology, some discussions, orientations, addresses, ontological problems have arisen, often from intentions mainly evolutionary, aimed at the progress; other times eccentric; others even more self-centered, looking for sector specificities. Even different positions are not only legitimate, but sometimes, perhaps involuntarily, also useful because - despite the fact that they deserve to be rejected - they help to put the reasoning in order and to clarify them better. This dialectical path, however, has a price: defining problems are stratified by being loaded with meanings that are sometimes even contradictory. The epistemological structure of underwater archaeology today therefore branches out into an articulated web of subdistinctions, not always actually necessary and sometimes decidedly superfluous, which here is not appropriate to fully explain, but of which a limited essay is offered below
