Cargo LRA1

Location Off the coast of Arap Adasi, Marmaris peninsula (note: given coordinates are to verify). Found at 520 m depth.

Description Nearly N–S oriented (stern: to the south, higher concentration of cooking ware and other transport amphoras), the wreck measures 17 x 10 m. "Heavy damage caused by bottom trawling [...], artifacts have been smashed and scattered some distance away from what surely had been a larger artifact mound. More than 60% of the extant artifacts are broken" (Brennan et al. 2020:303). Presumed size of the cargo: over 750 amphoras, mainly LRA1.  

Chronology Second half of the VI c. CE
