World's oldest shipwreck found off coast of Turkey

Archaeologists led by Prof Hakan Öniz of Akdeniz University found the world's oldest known shipwreck off Kekova Island, Turkey, dated by its amphorae to 4,400 to 4,700 years ago, the Early Bronze Age. The roughly 10-metre trading ship's wood has not survived, but three stone anchors and more than 30 amphorae lay 30 metres down, some still holding residue that may be olive oil, wine or tree resins.
