Article Synopsis
- The Kyrenia Ship, discovered off Cyprus, is significant for both scientific underwater excavation history and Greek shipbuilding, with a proposed dating of ca. 294-290 BCE based on a coin found on board.
- Radiocarbon dating efforts on the ship's materials revealed challenges, particularly for the period 350-250 BCE, due to outdated data affecting the calibration curve used for accurate dating.
- New tree-ring samples improved the dating accuracy, potentially indicating a slightly later date than previously estimated and aiding in the chronological understanding of a related vessel, the Mazotos ship.
