Black
Sea Shipwreck Research Project
Welcome to The Black Sea Shipwreck Research
Project 2007. We are a dedicated team of divers,
students, volunteers, and professional
archaeologists from Ukraine, Russia, Poland, and
America. Last year's Pisa Ship InteractiveDig
followed our progress while excavating a
thirteenth-century wreck near the Crimean resort
town of Novy Svet. This year we will continue to
finish our work on this important wreck site and
later begin a coastal survey of other parts of
the Bay of Sudak for shipwrecks dating from the
Medieval, Byzantine, and even Classical periods.
To aide in our survey for new wrecks we have the
addition of side-scanning sonar capable of
mapping the sea floor in three dimensions. This
powerful tool can see the telltale traces left
from wrecks long ago destroyed by the ravages of
the sea, but more on that later. Meanwhile,
living in the Spartan conditions of our base
camp, our divers prepare daily for excavation
beneath the Black Sea in Novy Svet and bring
with them underwater cameras to capture the
thrill and excitement of reclaiming ancient
artifacts from its watery depths. Join us on our
adventure into the past and follow our
discoveries in our
video diary.
