Technology capable of assisting archaeologists in the study of these interactions exists, but lack of funding limits the opportunities to perform this research. As a result of lower deterioration rates of modern shipwrecks in the deep sea, shallow sites receive more attention. To draw some of the focus towards researching deep sea sites, this thesis discusses the deterioration factors shipwrecks face in the deep environment and why they need further study. In-situ conservation practices can surely cost archaeologists valuable cultural resources in the deep sea. Unburied parts of a shipwreck resting on the unconsolidated sediments of the deep-sea face several factors that eventually leads to their complete deterioration and the buried structures also face substantial risks.
