WHOI marine archaeologist Brendan Foley holds a gold ring he and his team recovered from the Anitkythera wreck site off the coast of Greece. The ring is similar to one recovered nearby in 1976 by a team led by Jacques Cousteau. The wreck, which dates from roughly 60 BC, was discovered by sponge divers in 1900 and was the source of the famous Antikythera Mechanism. Foley and his team have been surveying and excavating the wreck since 2012 with some of the most advanced oceanographic tools and techniques available in the hopes it will reveal more about the people and culture of the time.
Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 52, No. 1, pg. 12:
