Abstract
The especial concern of the Society for Historical Archaeology (see note on pp. 33–34 of this issue) for underwater sites is echoed at the international level. We published earlier (CMAS 1(3), 189–190) a comment by Robert Hohlfelder on the draft ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites) Charter on the Protection and Management of Underwater Cultural Heritage. That draft has now been extensively revised. Of particular interest are a new paragraph on site management and maintenance (Article 10) and an expanded recommendation concerning community involvement (Article 14).The Charter has now been approved by the General Assembly of ICOMOS. We publish here its full English text (the English and French texts are available in ICOMOS News 7(1), January 1997, which is also due to publish the Spanish version in the following issue).(Ratified by the 11th ICOMOS General Assembly, held in Sofia, Bulgaria, from 5 to 9 October, 1996)
