%X Underwater cultural heritage (UCH) risk assessment due to mean and extreme
storms was conducted at Bucentaure and Fougueux shipwreck sites. Storms representative of
mean and extreme conditions were simulated using numerical modeling tools. Temporal series
of sea level, waves, fraction breaking and maximum bed shear stress were obtained at the studied
sites. The type of sediment transport and the hypothetical critical size of an archaeological
object to be moved was established. From our results it may be inferred that mean and extreme
storms are a greater threat for UCH at the Fougueux site.
