Abstract

The Tektaş Burnu ship (440-425 BC) sank along a rough and desolate stretch of the Turkish Aegean coast. Archaeological excavation of the shipwreck site by the stitute of Nautical Archaeology at Texas A&M University resulted the retrieval of hundreds of small fragments from the ship's wooden hull and its metal fasteners. Recent study of this artefact assemblage suggests that the coastal trader was built with pe planks and made-frames, and assembled by a shell-based construction method. Fasteners clude pegged mortise-and-tenon jots and double-clenched copper nails, and the ship may have had laced extremities consistent with other contemporaneous shipwrecks.
