Friends and colleagues: Take a tour of Turkey’s Anatolia region and inspect a Florida shipwreck in the December edition of Strata: Portraits of Humanity, available online and on TV.
In this episode we highlight eastern and southeastern Anatolia in Turkey,which has great scenic beauty and is an archaeological wonderland with clear traces of many civilizations. It includes Mt. Nimrud, with a massive burial mound and monumental statues placed at the summit 2000 years ago. Also this time, we see the 2011 excavations on the English China Shipwreck in Biscayne National Park, Florida, where the crew hoped to pinpoint the ship’s date and identity. It appeared to have been carrying a load of English ceramics to an unknown colonial destination, sometime between 1765 and 1775.
