Answer: Waterlogged sites can offer many possibilities but the major archaeological problem is with waterlogged finds, particularly wood, is that they deteriorate rapidly when they are uncovered, beginning to dry and crack almost at once. They, therefore, need to be kept wet until treated in a laboratory. Conservation measures explain why wet archaeology costs around four times as much as dry archaeology.

Hope this helps :)
