Huang Yung-chuan, now director of the museum, was the assistant director of the Penghu project. He says that because Taiwan was new to underwater archaeology, the team had no choice but to borrow techniques and tools from land-based digs and figure out how to apply them underwater.
現任史博館館長黃永川，當時是計畫副總主持人，面對從未做過的水下考古，他說，當時只能「土法煉鋼」，把圈出考古現場的「探方」、鏟子、圓鍬等陸上田野考古的方法及工具，參考移用於水下考古。
