New finds from Antiythera

The ministry also presented to the press photos that it had refused to disseminate over the weekend. Other items brought to the surface include a piece of lead plating from the ship's hull. According to the ministry the fact that close by there is another position with stacked amphorae is raising the question whether this part of the same ship, or another that went down in a separate incident. The issue is still unclear despite the extensive mapping of the underwater site carried out over the past few days.

The cartography of the site was overlaid onto a GPS array allowing researchers to superimpose the data from the 1900 salvage operation, and the Cousteau expedition of 1976, and making possible a 3D depiction. Activities to follow will include sweeps with metal detectors to more accurately pinpoint the extent of the wreck and debris scattered.
