Abstract
Fundamental aspects of the sea environment (water and bottom sediments) which will affect the rate of deterioration of artefacts lying at depths up to 100m are considered. The composition of seawater and of the seabed are described and the deterioration processes of stone, pottery, glass and metals are considered. -- AATA
