It was discovered by a Turkish sponge diver in 1982 and fully excavated by the Institute of Nautical Archaeology between 1984 and 1994. The raised artifacts, totaling over 15,000 items, are now being conserved, documented, and studied at the Bodrum Research Center and Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology in Turkey. My role with this project is to manage and organize the data which includes various assemblages, thousands of artifact reports, photographs, and drawings, and over 5 TB of digital data, document and study various assemblages currently focusing on the Canaanite pottery, including the amphorae, Pilgrim flasks, oil lamps, trefoil-mouth jugs, and carinated and plain bowls, and tin ingots, and to coordinate a team of summer interns and permanent international project members in Turkey and the United States.
