Phoenician Project Part 3

Exploration & Study
Once the age and typology of the shipwreck were identified it became clear that this unique site deserved to be explored and studied in depth.

The first question that needed to be answered is whether there was any more archaeology buried in the sediments located under the visible layer. To this end a Sub Bottom Profiler was deployed over the site to read into the layers of sand and silt. Results were encouraging as well as astonishing – close to two meters of archaeology remains buried in the seabed. It was evident that this site deserved further in-depth studies.
