The wreck has been dated to the second Proto-Helladic period, 2700–2200 BC. [2] The remains of the shipwreck are located about 15–30 metres (50–100 ft) underwater off the coast of southern Greece near the island of Dokos (ancient name Aperopia) in the Aegean Sea. [3] Dokos is about 100 kilometres (60 mi) east of Sparta, Peloponnese. [4]
Systematic excavation of the shipwreck began in 1992, again led by the director of the Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities. [2] The first task was a survey of the existing state of the wreck, and this was done by preparing a photomosaic from photographs taken at a height of 7 metres (23 ft) above the wreck.
All 10 wrecks were located at depths between 65 and 155 feet with the help of modern research equipment and divers equipped with underwater cameras, who took over 20,000 photos.
