| Summary: | Two one-armed wooden anchors were recently discovered in the submerged ancient city of Thonis-Heracleion, in present-day northern Egypt. The anchors were well preserved in the clayish environment indicative of the ancient canals at the site. Archaeological finds of this particular anchor type remain rare. Preliminarily, the ceramic assemblages associated with both finds allow dating the contexts of their discovery to a period ranging from the end of the 5th to the first half of the 4th century BC. |
