Более 50 объектов были обнаружены во время подводной экспедицииon the site of the famous shipwreck near the island of Antikiter. Based on these findings, archaeologists hope to expand scientific knowledge of the ship crash and its cargo. A century ago it was possible discover an unprecedented mechanism (by the standards of the Hellenistic culture) difficulties.
On a wide area of the wreck, archaeologists from Greece, Australia and the USA found an intact amphora, a large anchor, a wine vessel, pawns from antique board games, the bronze part of the throne, a flute fragment, dishes and the wreckage of the vessel itself. Excavations at great depths like say experts have their own difficulties and features. At first an electronic map was drawn up, then the bottom was examined by a robot, and only then began the dive divers. Where the search is not long yielded results, over time, new artifacts.
It is worth recalling that earlier, together with the anti-Kitter mechanism bronze statues were raised. The ancient ship became one of the main underwater discoveries of Greece in the 20th century, and until the completion of research still far. The next step will be the examination of the vessels. She is will allow to determine what was transported on the vessel. And the analysis metal objects will show where the material was mined and where it came from ship.
