Abstract
AbstractTwo anchors discovered at Karaburun on the Black Sea coast in 2011 are very rare examples of wooden anchors from the Archaic period. The anchors, dated to the Archaic period, measure 460.5 cm (KA1) and 502 cm (KA2) in length. The solid piece of wood used to form the body and arms of the anchors was identified as a member of the white oak group (Quercus Sect. Quercus); in addition, holm oak (Quercus ilex L.), common dogwood (Cornus sanguinea L.), and bay laurel (Laurus nobilis L.) were used in the manufacturing of the other elements. The anchors are believed to have originated from the Black Sea shores.
