ARTIFACT IMAGE ARTIFACT NAME BRIEF ARTIFACT DESCRIPTION
DP07-001

Amphora, nearly complete, half-buried on its side. Body, upper part of neck and apparently upper part of handle are projecting above the sediment. The amphora appears to be a late Archaic or Classical Aegean amphora. Additional research is required to make a more definitive identification.

DP07-002

Single-handled coarse ware cup sitting upright on the seabed. The handle appears to be rectangular in cross-section. The handle appears to be rectangular in cross-section. It is difficult to determine any rough date, although it appears to resemble similar styles from the Late Roman and Byzantine periods. No measurements were taken.

DP07-003

Fragment of a ceramic storage vessel, possibly an amphora. Type unidentifiable.

DP07-004

Fragment of a ceramic storage vessel, possibly an amphora. Type unidentifiable.

DP07-005

Fragment of a ceramic storage vessel, possibly an amphora. Type unidentifiable.

DP07-006

Partial amphora, with top shoulder, neck, rim and handles missing. The body is cylindrical in the upper half, but in the bottom half tapers to a much smaller cylinder before coming to a rounded point at the foot. The fabric appears dark-red/brown in camera light. Ribbing on the surface is made apparent by calcareous shells in the grooves. Initial impressions of origin include Persian, LR African, or LR Levantine, however, additional research is required to make a more definitive identification.

DP07-007

Amphora rim and neck, with one handle, sitting perfectly upright. Type unidentifiable as there are no other diagnostic attributes.
