By combining underwater survey with formal and compositional study of ceramics, recent work at Burgaz (SW Turkey) reveals a late 6th- or 7th-century assemblage of wine and perhaps other agricultural products carried in LR1 and LR2-related amphoras. Representing various southeast Aegean and likely Cilician producers, the mixed cargo aboard this probable shipwreck offers insights into the complex dynamics of seaborne distribution at the end of antiquity. This brief study also underscores the need for documentation in underwater survey of amphora forms and fabrics, particularly those from a period characterized by intensified and diversified production of supra-regional ceramic types.
