Conferences
The DEGUWA organises annual conferences since 1995 concerning themes within underwater archaeology. These conferences are called "In Poseidons Reich" and usually take place in spring. In Poseidons Reich XII (2007)
Our twelth conference was held on 8. - 11.02.2006 in Cologne. In cooperation with the 'Römisch-Germanisches Museum' and the Department for Classical Archaeology of the University of Cologne, the motto of this annual conference was: "Wrecks: expressive testimonies of ancient ship catatrophes" . This year encompassed again an interesting variety of themes, i.a. recent ship-archaeological research, deep water archaeology, underwater cultural management and the most recent results of fieldwork in the harbour of Alexandria.
