Another day at the office - underwater archaeologists exploring the ancient naval harbours of Athens

Zea Harbour Project (ZHP) - the combined land and underwater archaeological investigation of the ancient harbours of Zea and Mounichia in the Piraeus - was launched in 2002. ZHP's mission is to excavate and conduct research in the ancient naval bases, primarily the shipsheds that housed Athens' fleet of triremes, and the harbour fortifications. The fleet was the back-bone of the Athenian Democracy in the 5th and 4th century BC. Follow the ZHP on facebook www.facebook.com/zeaharbourproject or visit our website www.zeaharbourproject.dk for more information. The ZHP operates under the auspices of the Danish Institute at Athens and is directed by Dr. Bjørn Lovén. The project is supervised by the Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities (2002-2012) and the 26th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities (2002-2009). The Carlsberg Foundation has financed the ZHP since 2004.
