Black Sea MAP (Black Sea Maritime Archaeology Project)

The Black Sea Maritime Archaeology Project (Black Sea MAP) is an international research initiative that explores submerged ancient shipwrecks and artifacts beneath the Black Sea. Using advanced underwater technology like sonar and remotely operated vehicles, scientists investigate shipwrecks up to 8,000 years old, revealing insights into early civilizations, trade routes, and shipbuilding techniques. The project's goal is to preserve these underwater culturalheritage and enhance our understanding of human history in the region, which was historically a crossroads of civilizations.
