CHIOS STRAITS - OINOUSSA - 2008

Chios. A survey led by K. Preka-Alexandri (Director emerita, EMA), in collaboration with the American Oceanographic Institute, Woods Hole (led by B. Foley), has documented and photographed 10 shipwreck sites on the NE coastline of Chios and Oinoussa which, on an initial estimation, date from ECl to Byz times, with one possible Med site. Four of these wreck sites are new discoveries. Research continued into the DNA of the substances contained in the recovered amphorae.
