Site Description

The Adrasan wreck site is located off the coast of Adrasan, Turkey at an approximate depth of 45 meters. The site was surveyed in the 1970s by George Bass and again in 2022 by a team from Akdeniz University. The site contains a cargo made up entirely of hundreds of Eastern Sigillata A (ESA) plates, cups and bowls. No other material associated with the wreck has been idenitified. The ESA forms represent a unified chronological horizon of the 1st century BCE.
