New Underwater Discoveries off Elba: A Dolium and a Possible Wreck
Divers have uncovered a dolium and traces of a possible shipwreck in the waters off Elba, shedding light on ancient Mediterranean wine trade routes.
Archaeologists hope that new excavation campaigns will help clarify the nature of the wreck and date the dolium more precisely. The site, already recorded, will be subject to reinforced monitoring to prevent potential damage. These discoveries remind us that the Mediterranean remains an immense open book on our past, with each revealed page illuminating the commercial and cultural exchanges that shaped the ancient world.
