There will be an explosion of archaeological potential in the next two decades.

* underwater drones to capture settlements and boats (particularly in the anoxic Black Sea)

* advances in ground penetrating sensors combined with ML-based recognition

* new funding models through popular media like Netflix

And a rapid increase in the number of multimillionaires ready to hand over cash for antiquities, either personally or through thier funding of museums. Ancient relics are the new cool for the super rich, as dinosaur bones were a few years back, and painting before that.
