The shipwreck is located off the coast of Arap Adasi, Marmaris peninsula, at 520 m depth and covers an area of 17 x 10 m. Nearly N–S oriented (stern: to the south, higher concentration of cooking ware and other transport amphoras). "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 Late Roman Amphora 1 (LRA 1). Dated to the second half of the VI c. CE.
