remains of ancient ports

Remains of ancient ports are the preserved structures and artifacts left behind from historical harbor areas. These can include stone quays, breakwaters, piers, warehouses, and tools used for loading and unloading ships. Over centuries, natural processes like sediment buildup, erosion, and sea level changes can submerge or alter these sites. Archaeologists study these remains to understand past trade, navigation, and urban development. Today, these sites offer valuable insights into ancient maritime activity and serve as important cultural heritage, often submerged or partially buried, requiring specialized techniques for excavation and preservation.
