When archaeologists from the Institute of Nautical Archaeology at Texas A&M University excavated a shipwreck from the 14th century BC off the eastern shore of Uluburun, Turkey, they encountered one of the largest, most diverse assemblages of Bronze Age goods ever discovered.
From elephant and hippopotamus tusks, ostrich eggshells, and logs of ebony to gold and silver jewelry, cylinder seals, musical instruments, and board games that belonged to the crew, the findings were rich and spectacular.
Hear from Cemal Pulak, professor of Nautical Archaeology at Texas A&M University and vice president of the Institute of Nautical Archaeology, to learn how the wreck offers an unparalleled window to the dynamic trade networks from the Near East to the Aegean during the Late Bronze Age.
