Submerged landscapes offer a fascinating glimpse into the past. In contrast to their terrestrial counterparts, these landscapes are remarkably well-preserved, unveiling the mysteries of maritime cultures and seafaring societies. They serve as invaluable archives, providing crucial insights into climate change, sea-level fluctuations, and human adaptation over millennia. This study presents a distinct perspective on the dynamic interplay between humans and their environment, enabling archaeologists to reconstruct past coastlines, trace human migrations, and understand the impact of natural disasters on ancient communities. This panel aims to foster a rich dialogue among submerged landscape researchers, with the goal of gaining deeper insights into our past. By integrating diverse methodologies and interdisciplinary approaches, we can unlock new avenues for research, preservation, and public engagement. Ultimately, the exploration of submerged landscapes enriches our understanding of the past and informs strategies for sustainable coastal management and heritage conservation in the face of contemporary challenges.
