In a first-of-a-kind study, a team of UofH researchers set sail to shed light on how sailors navigated strong Mediterranean winds in ancient times. The team used big data technology to collect 750 million records of weather data over 15 years before embarking on the sea journey. The team sailed aboard the Replica Ship, modeled after the ship that sank near Kibbutz Ma’agan Mikhael 2,400 years ago. The study was conducted by PhD student David Gal under the supervision of Prof. Deborah Cvikel (School of Archaeology and Maritime Cultures), and Prof. Hadas Saaroni from Tel Aviv University. Their findings were published in Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory.
