The objects found in the wreckage of the ship that sunk in the sea two thousand years ago were a surprise to the scientific world! Along with undamaged glass vessels, the explorers found many objects that were in use at the time.
A Roman ship, known as Capo Corso-2, is lying under the sea between Italy and France. The ship is 1,148 feet below the surface of the sea.
A large collection of glass tableware objects, including two bronze basins, some Bronze Age jars called amphorae, bowls, cups, bottles and plates, were brought ashore by the researchers with the help of robots.
Crude glass blocks were also among those recovered. The artifacts were taken to a laboratory in Italy for further study and restoration.
In 2012, Guido Gay, an engineer, discovered this wreck for the first time. Archaeologists completed a preliminary survey of the site in 2013. Detailed research will begin in 2015. The researchers estimate that the objects found were made at the end of the first century or the beginning of the second century.
Researchers speculate that the sunken ship departed from a port in the Middle East. The journey was from Syria or Lebanon to the French coast. The research team suggested that the findings might open new chapters on the history of Mediterranean trade.
