| Summary: | In 2018, a wreck carrying pillow-shaped copper ingots was found off the shores of the Kumluca District of Antalya. This shipwreck, which can be dated to 16th-15th B.C., probably belongs to a merchant vessel that sank as a result of hitting the shore during a storm. Work on the vessel, which sank in ancient Lycia, began in the summer of 2019. A sample of ingots was removed from the shipwreck and one of the ingots was found to be marked for shipment: an early example of such signs, many of which were seen in the Late Bronze Age. XRF analyses conducted by Antalya Conservation and Restoration Laboratory show that the samples taken from pillow and bun-shaped ingots of the main cargo are copper. |
