Come and find out about the Department of Archaeology's major maritime project looking at 2,500 years of shipwrecks at the bottom of the Black Sea. In the dark, a kilometre down, vessels from the Greek and Roman periods though to the present day survive, and are being surveyed using unmanned vehicles and photogrammetry.
