Ancient Shipwreck's Stone Cargo Linked to Apollo Temple


Recommended Posts

For a few days back in July 2007, it was hard for archaeologist Deborah Carlson to get any work done at her site off the Aegean coast of western Turkey. She was leading an underwater excavation of a 2,000-year-old shipwreck, but the Turkish members of her crew had taken time off to vote in national elections. So things were quiet at her camp on an isolated cape called Kızılburun.

 

The shipwrecks' main cargo was 50 tons of marble
