A remarkably well-preserved shipwreck from the Late Hellenistic - Early Roman period has been discovered off Antalya’s coast near Adrasan in Türkiye. Found at a depth of 33–46 meters, this stunning find marks a major breakthrough in global underwater archaeology. The “Ceramic Shipwreck” carried a cargo of hundreds of Eastern sigillata pottery pieces - a type of fine, red slip tableware widely produced in the Mediterranean. Around 25 distinct ceramic designs have been identified and were carefully coated with raw clay as a protective layer during transport before being stacked on top of each other. This ancient technique helped them remain preserved in near-perfect condition beneath layers of sand, even after 2,000 years.
