Expedition to the Georgian Black Sea Coast
Date - 1999
Project Director - Dan Davis
In June of 1999, a team from the Institute of Nautical Archaeology traveled to Georgia at the invitation of PARK (Pipeline Archaeology for the Recovery of Knowledge) and the Center for Archaeological Studies (CAS) in Tbilisi. The primary goal was to collaborate with Georgian archaeologists about the potential of nautical archaeology along their Black Sea shores. In addition, the team attempted to substantiate reports of amphora mounds and ancient walls lying offshore and in a lake connected to the Black Sea by a narrow channel. What they found warrants a return.
