This list of archaeological sites beyond national boundaries presents archaeological sites that are not in any country. This includes sites in international waters [1] and international territories such as Antarctica [2] [3] and extraterrestrial sites. [4]
Site | Location | Nature | Status |
---|---|---|---|
Hektor Station [5] | Deception Island, Antarctica | Whaling station | |
The Titanic Wreck | off Newfoundland | Twentieth-century shipwreck | The ship is broken in two, with some remains scattered. Some looting has taken place. |
SS Republic [6] [7] | about 100 miles (160 km) off the state of Georgia | Nineteenth-century shipwreck | A salvage effort in 2003 recovered about one-third of the rare 19th century gold and silver coins carried aboard, worth an estimated $75 million. Most of the hull of the ship is now gone, but the rudder, parts of the paddle wheel and the steam engine are still present. |
Tranquility Base (Statio Tranquillitatis) | Mare Tranquillitatis, on the Moon | Site of first humans on the Moon | Virtually undisturbed. Ineligible for World Heritage status. The U.S. states of California and New Mexico have listed it on their heritage registers. [8] [9] |
