Underwater archaeology has only been present in Poland for a few decades. Research carried out in the 1950s in the search for ancient Wolin brought out the first sites. Polish coasts abound in wrecks, whose preservation are helped by the low salinity and low temperature of the Baltic waters, which are also free of the voracious snail toredo navalis. The wreck are endangered, however, by hydro-technical investments, and underwater treasure hunters. Up to now, underwater archaeology has brought out hundreds of artifacts which come from mediaeval as well as more contemporary times, and which are on display at the National Museum in Szczecin and the Central Maritime Museum in Gdańsk. Discussions as to the extent of protection for underwater archaeological sites and the possibility of expanding the scope of research activities in this area. One of the greatest challenges is creating a monitoring system for underwater archaeological sites. Poland’s participation in the “Managing Cultural Heritage Underwater – MACHU” project should be one solution to this problem. It is also important to create a national underwater archaeology center, which would become a source of technical and substantive support for conservation services, and which would allow for more effective protection of artifacts in the range of Polish coast. Following examples of other European countries, we have to treat our maritime heritage as a valuable source of information about the history of our country and the entire Baltic basin, and protect these things while also making them accessible to a wide community of maritime history enthusiasts.

Abstract: The article discusses theoretical assumptions and the terminology of underwater archaeological research and specialized areas of interest included in it, such as maritime and nautical archaeology. The introduction briefly describes the evolution of scientific underwater research in a pan-European context and Polish approaches. The main part of the text attempts to present and set in order most of the theoretical assumptions that are already in existence, which seems to be poorly known by the Polish archaeological community. The article is based on the studies by K. Muckelroy, S. McGrail, M. E. Jasinski and J. Adams. Special emphasis was placed on determining the scope of the research area in terms of maritime, underwater and nautical archaeology, which often are used in Poland interchangeably and the areas that currently need improvement or changing. In a separate sub-section, the issue of maritime cultural landscapes are presented. It is a concept which was framed by Ch. Westerdahl and presents the meaning of artefacts related to a „water” environment, but which have been deposited on land. Their inclusion yields a wider and more holistic understanding of past relations and cultural landscapes. The potential for widely understood underwater research conducted in Poland does not yet seem to have been fully exploited. It is appropriate, therefore, to use the material that already exists and exploit it in a wider theoretical framework rather than simply working on gaining new material
