update March 2011: As of January, 2010, nearby Oristano is the site of the facility for the University of Sassari's new 2-year post-graduate specialization program in underwater and coastal landscape archaeology. The latest copy of the UNESCO list of Courses in Underwater Archaeology at Universities and other Institutions lists 47 such programs in the world, 7 of which are in Italy. The Sassari/Oristano one is the only Italian post-graduate program in the field, although other universities and technical schools have undergraduate courses in marine archaeology as part of general archaeology degrees or offer classes such as "cultural heritage focusing on archaeology of the sea." No doubt, the proximity to Tharros made the site a good choice for such a program. Eleven candidates passed the first entrance examination; two are Sardinian, with others from Calabria, Campania, Tuscany and Sicily in Italy, as well as from Greece and Spain.
