A 200-pound stone anchor belonging to an ancient ship was recently discovered at the Tel Dor excavation site near Haifa. Researchers believe that the anchor was first used during the Bronze Age and through the Roman and Byzantine periods (~3,000 years ago). The underwater excavation was led by the University’s Leon Recanati Institute of Marine Studies and the Israel Nature and Parks Authority. More in Times of Israel. Researchers from UofH and UC San Diego have been exploring the Tel Dor site for a number of years – even during the pandemic.
