 East and southeast Anatolia; English China Shipwreck site in Biscayne Bay

(1) Eastern and southeastern Anatolia in Turkey has great scenic beauty and is an archaeological wonderland with clear traces of many civilizations. It includes Mt. Nimrud, with a massive burial mound and monumental statues placed at the summit 2000 years ago. (2) During 2011 excavations on the English China Shipwreck in Biscayne National Park, Florida, the crew hoped to pinpoint the ship’s date and identity. It appeared to have been carrying a load of English ceramics to an unknown colonial destination, sometime between 1765 and 1775.
