Report
Antikythera. A. Simosi (Ephorate of Antiquities of Euboea) and L. Bäumer (ESAG / University of Geneva) report on work undertaken in 2023.
The investigation aimed to understand the origins of the ship itself and the nature of its sinking. The 2022 campaign brought to light fragments of two life-size marble sculptures. In 2023 excavations continued in the same area of this discovery. Some fragments of the rich finds salvaged belong to marble sculptures, bronze nails and sculptures (including part of a finely crafted hair), as well as parts of the lead cladding of the ship’s hull. Human bones were also recovered.
