“…The anchor sizes seem to align with what is known from other anchorages and LBA shipwrecks, with the exception of the large and elite ship wrecked at Uluburun. The 120 anchors in the anchorage at Kouklia‐ Achni , Cyprus, ranged in length from 30 cm to over 1 m (Howitt–Marshall 2012, 110). These sizes are comparable to those anchors at Tsaroukkas , albeit the largest anchor at Tsaroukkas is 90 cm.…”

“…Few unfinished anchors or production sites have been documented. On Cyprus, no unfinished stone anchors have been reported in shipwrecks or anchorages, such as among the 35 anchors at Cape Kiti (McCaslin 1977; 1980, 21–4), 120 anchors at Kouklia‐ Achni (Howitt‐Marshall 2012), or 140 anchors at Cape Andreas (Green 1973). An unfinished anchor was reported near the lighthouse at Cape Kiti, Cyprus, and another on the seabed at Dor, Israel, (Wachsmann (1998, 292), but without any context it is impossible to know when or why these singular stones were deposited.…”

“…2002), Zygi (Manning et al . 2000), Kouklia‐Achni (Howitt‐Marshall 2012), and Avdimou Bay (Leidwanger 2005; Leidwanger and Howitt‐Marshall 2006), only a few date to the Late Bronze Age (Leonard 1995; 2008; Knapp 2018, 139–40). Often the only remains in the anchorages are the stone anchors (Knapp 2018, 148–51), which cannot provide a firm date since similar anchor types have been used from the Bronze Age through to the recent era (Frost 1963a; Nicolaou and Catling 1968; McCaslin 1980; Tóth 2002).…”

Directly offshore from the Late Cypriot (LC) site of Maroni Tsaroukkas on the south-central coast of Cyprus lie the remains of an anchorage with stone anchors, LC ceramics, and stone blocks. Initially surveyed in 1995-96, the anchorage was re-surveyed from 2017-19 to investigate and document fully the underwater site and to develop accurate underwater survey recording methodologies for defining this coastscape interaction zone. The site was surveyed by measuring finds into an established grid and using a computer-controlled camera system for photogrammetry. The results expand the known extent of the anchorage, include newly documented archaeological remains, and challenge us to re-conceptualize the area. In addition to anchors and pottery representative of maritime use, the presence of unfinished anchors and LC IA ceramic assemblages in the western part of the site indicates a LC coastal region likely once terrestrial that is now submerged, forming part of a newly identified coastscape locale.

“…They may have had a 1-m draft when fully loaded, thus, needing a l.5-m depth for anchorage. 112 Shipping normally went anti-clockwise round the island due to the prevailing winds and currents, 113 which would have made clockwise communication difficult. However, shipping was able to travel from Kouklia to Maa, since the Akamas promontory cuts off the prevailing north-west wind.…”
