Abstract
Two anchors discovered at Karaburun on the Black Sea coast in 2011 are very rare examples of wooden anchors from the Archaic period. The anchors, dated to the Archaic period, measure 460.5 cm (KA1) and 502 cm (KA2) in length. The solid piece of wood used to form the body and arms of the anchors was identified as a member of the white oak group (Quercus Sect. Quercus); in addition, holm oak (Quercus ilex L.), common dogwood (Cornus sanguinea L.), and bay laurel (Laurus nobilis L.) were used in the manufacturing of the other elements. The anchors are believed to have originated from the Black Sea shores.
期刊介绍:
Archaeometry is an international research journal covering the application of the physical and biological sciences to archaeology, anthropology and art history. Topics covered include dating methods, artifact studies, mathematical methods, remote sensing techniques, conservation science, environmental reconstruction, biological anthropology and archaeological theory. Papers are expected to have a clear archaeological, anthropological or art historical context, be of the highest scientific standards, and to present data of international relevance.
The journal is published on behalf of the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, Oxford University, in association with Gesellschaft für Naturwissenschaftliche Archäologie, ARCHAEOMETRIE, the Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS), and Associazione Italian di Archeometria.
