As these risks are likely to intensify in the future, there is an urgent need to build CMCH resilience. We argue that the current CMCH risk management paradigm narrowly focuses on the present and preservation. This tends to exclude debates about the contested nature of resilience and how it may be achieved beyond a strict preservationist approach. There is a need, therefore, to progress a broader and more dynamic framing of CMCH management that recognises the shift away from strict preservationist approaches and incorporates the complexity of heritage’s socio-political contexts. Drawing on critical cultural heritage literature, we reconceptualise CMCH management by rethinking the temporality of cultural heritage. We argue that cultural heritage may exist in four socio-temporal manifestations (extant, lost, dormant, and potential) and that CMCH management consists of three broa...

During the survey, Stone and probable Bronze Age bone artefacts, refuse of bone working industry, as well as unworked animal bones, fish and bird bones, some human bones, and sherds of Narva Ware, Comb Ware, Corded Ware and Early Textile Ware, and also some pottery fragments from the Iron Age and from the Medieval and the Modern Period were found. By today, the remains of sites belonging to the Stone Age (and in at least one case also to the Early Bronze Age) have been identified in 13 locations, 11 of which are located near the mouths of rivers, below the average water level. Some of the new sites, like Rannapungerja, Avijõgi and Omedu, are directly linked with the dredging operations conducted in Lake Peipsi near the mouths of rivers in 2015. The rest of the sites were revealed due to low water level, erosion, or as the result of former dredging operations.

This paper gives first general overview about the site, the wrecks and the arte- and ecofacts related to ships.

We present a selection of the best diving destination wrecks in the three countries.
The underwater landscape of the Baltic Sea is a unique ecological and cultural-historical environment resulting from the combination of a long seafaring history and good preservation conditions. The remains of shipwrecks in Estonian, Finnish and Swedish waters are well preserved and give us an extraordinary opportunity to take a glimpse into the everyday life that froze hundreds of years ago. In this aspect, the Baltic Sea is a giant underwater museum waiting to be visited.
