“…Generalized factors can form a type of interpretation of the information gathered and include environmental, industrial, and anthropogenic factors, while more specified ones are usually met during fieldwork and are mostly attributed to water depth and weather conditions. In addition, when we are considering rescue-based excavations/surveys, other factors like time limitations, budget issues or even lucky finds that need to be specifically addressed can affect the information provided and, therefore, limit the interpretation afterwards (King 2016;Ford 2010). Furthermore, it should also be taken into consideration that other factors may occur unexpectedly while excavating an archaeological site that can also affect the process of research.…”

Research on underwater archaeological sites has been adversely affected by various socioeconomic (specialized equipment, lack of know-how, legal framework, etc.) and environmental (weather conditions, site formation processes, etc.) challenges. Interdisciplinary approaches, especially technology integration, can help introduce a methodology to evaluate these factors and mitigate limitations to enhance the information retrieved and assist the interpretation process. One such approach may be predictive modelling while developing methodologies based on predictive models can be assets in research. The work presented in this article is based on this approach and assesses the use of predictive models based on six case studies. It is an effort to evaluate whether targeting sub-areas when excavating on limited time and budget can help clarify the interpretation of the information collected from these areas.

________________________________________________________________The so-called gray literature is a recognized category of publication the world over but for a variety of reasons it is viewed as a substandard source of scholarly information. This literature facilitates multi-vocality in a profession that is split between those who dominate power roles, educational outlets, and publication venues and those who are in-thetrench practitioners who generate voluminous amounts of material. Taken less seriously by those who incorrectly suggest that reports are not peer reviewed or are inaccessible, these sources will be more widely cited if those outside the specific report-producing communities understand how to access them and understand their scholarly responsibility to do so. ________________________________________________________________Résumé: La littérature dite grise est une catégorie de publication reconnue dans le monde entier mais qui, pour diverses raisons, est considérée comme une source d'information spécialisée inférieure. Cette littérature facilite la multivocalité dans une profession qui est partagée entre ceux qui dominent les rô les du pouvoir, l'éducation et les lieux de publication, et les professionnels de terrain qui produisent de grandes quantités d'informations. Moins prises au sérieux par ceux qui suggèrent incorrectement que les rapports ne sont pas examinés par des pairs ou sont inaccessibles, ces sources d'information seront plus largement citées si ceux qui sont en dehors des milieux spécifiques de production des rapports savent comment les utiliser et comprennent leur responsabilité scientifique de le faire. ________________________________________________________________
