Following the Karaburun Anchors
In 2024, a geophysical and optical survey west of Karaburun Lighthouse (Black Sea, Türkiye) tested for shipwreck remains potentially associated with two Archaic wooden anchors from Philea and documented seabed disturbance in the reported recovery sector. Dual-frequency side-scan sonar (300/900 kHz) mapped 25.7 km2 and detected 17 anomalies. Ground-truthing with a remotely operated vehicle classified all targets as natural features or modern mater…
Wood species of Karaburun anchors used in archaic period ships
Two anchors discovered at Karaburun on the Black Sea coast in 2011 are very rare examples of wooden anchors from the Archaic period. The anchors, dated to the Archaic period, measure 460.5 cm (KA1) and 502 cm (KA2) in length. The solid piece of wood used to form the body and arms of the anchors was identified as a member of the white oak group ( Quercus Sect. Quercus ); in addition, holm oak ( Quercus ilex L.), common dogwood ( Cornus sanguinea L…
