The Wooden Anchors of Karaburun: Documentation and Preliminary Assessments

Ufuk Kocabaş, Ayşegül Çetiner Dinçer, Rahmi Asal

The subjects of this article are two wooden anchors that were found by fishermen in 2011 off the Black Sea coast in Karaburun Village, Istanbul. The waterlogged wooden anchors were delivered to Istanbul University’s Conservation Laboratory for scientific analysis. Documentation studies carried out in the laboratory revealed the four pieces of the remains to belong to two different wooden anchors. The anchors are dated between 580-460 BC according to the C14 analyses. The waterlogged wooden anchors were stored wet, the desalination procedure was completed, and surface cleaning was carried out. After cleaning, photo-mosaics were completed of both sides of the anchors by combining approximately 25 photo-frames. Documentation was carried out using the 3D digitizer FaroArm; the technical details of the anchors, the data related to the manufacturing methods, and the elements such as nails, dowels, mortise and tenon joints are written on the drawing. Wood samples were taken from the anchors, and genus-species identifications as well as dendrochronological results are in the works.
