“…The use of double‐clenched nails is seen on Classical period shipwrecks in the Mediterranean, such as at Ma‘agan Mikhael in Israel ( c. 400 BC), Porticello in the Strait of Messina in Italy ( c. 400–385 BC) and near Kyrenia in Cyprus (construction c. 315–305, sinking c. 295–285 BC) (Tylecote, : 274–5; Eiseman and Ridgway, : 11–15; Fitzgerald, : 196–7; Lawall, (date of the Porticello wreck); Kahanov et al ., ; Kahanov, : 96–9; Yovel, : 83–104; Katzev, : 72 (dates of Kyrenia ship)). This method of double‐clenching nails remained standard practice in Mediterranean hull construction and continued to be employed until the beginning of the Roman Imperial period in the late first century BC (Fitzgerald, : 196–7).…”

The 5th-Century BC Shipwreck at Tektaş Burnu, Turkey: evidence for the ship's hull from nail concretions

The Tektaş Burnu ship (440-425 BC) sank along a rough and desolate stretch of the Turkish Aegean coast. Archaeological excavation of the shipwreck site by the Institute of Nautical Archaeology at Texas A&M University resulted in the retrieval of hundreds of small fragments from the ship's wooden hull and its metal fasteners. Recent study of this artefact assemblage suggests that the coastal trader was built with pine planks and made-frames, and assembled by a shell-based construction method. Fasteners include pegged mortise-and-tenon joints and double-clenched copper nails, and the ship may have had laced extremities consistent with other contemporaneous shipwrecks.

“…It seems, too, that short and hollowed ‘dunce's‐cap’ toes should be dated no later than c .330 BC but we still lack detailed chronologies for that period (Lawall, 2002: 202). The Chians had stamped their amphoras since 450–425 BC, but name‐stamps appear only from the 3rd century onwards, a fact that makes the identification and chronologies of the 4th‐century types more difficult (Garlan, 2000: 151; Lawall, 2005: 32–3, n. 11; concerning the ‘shortcomings’ in studies on unstamped amphoras, see Lawall, 1998b: 77).…”

“…On the one hand, because fine pottery was often used as secondary cargo, it cannot demonstrate adequately the mechanisms of trade (Gill, 1991). Amphoras, on the other hand, due to their particular nature as containers for bulk transport on ships, offer unique potential for further investigations into the ‘economic and political changes at a local, regional or inter‐regional level’ (Lawall, 1998b: 75–7, see also Garlan, 1983).…”

Since November 2007 an underwater project has been carried out by the Archaeological Research Unit of the University of Cyprus, in collaboration with the Department of Antiquities, at a shipwreck on the south coast, 14 miles south-west of Larnaca. Its cargo consists mainly of Chian amphoras and has been provisionally dated to the 3rd quarter of the 4th century BC. The good state of preservation of the site gives an opportunity for studying amphora stowage and the wreck-formation process. Moreover, it can shed new light on sea-routes and trade between Cyprus and the Aegean during the late Classical period.
