Bronze Age shipwrecks
Aegean Sea—Civilization blossomed dramatically during the Bronze Age 3,000 to 5,000 years ago; major clues to explain this critical turning point in human history lie at the bottom of the ocean—in artifacts aboard shipwrecks. In July, Brendan Foley, Hanu Singh, and other WHOI scientists strengthened a collaboration with Greek archaeologists and marine researchers to demonstrate how underwater vehicles such as WHOI’s SeaBED can be used to find and study ancient shipwrecks beyond the depth of divers. Working near the island of Chios, they located, mapped, and photographed ancient (through not Bronze Age) Greek and Roman wrecks.
