Prerequisites (description):	The lecture is offered to all University students, but also aimed to Underwater Archaeology faculty attendants, as an addition to the program of studies. The lectures will present the outline of the inland underwater archaeology issues, such as the history of studies in this field and the development of research methods.
Short description:	The main results of the European inland underwater archaeology will be presented.
Full description:	The lecture provides the presentation of the research in the field of inland water communication routes (sites such as bridges, harbours, fords) as well as other structures distinctive for inland reservoirs, like lake dwellings. The issue of the evolution of the interior water transport vessels (from the Stone Age to Late Middle Ages) and also that of the legal status of the underwater sites would be discussed. Methods of documentation, cataloguing, exploration and preservation will be introduced.
