Zea Harbour Project

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zea Harbour Project is a Danish-Greek archaeological project in Piraeus, Greece. The project began in 2002 under the auspices of the Danish Institute at Athens and is directed by Bjørn Lovén [da], Associate Fellow in Maritime Archaeology at the University of Southern Denmark. The Zea Harbour Project's goal is to excavate and investigate ancient Athenian naval bases and their fortifications.[1] The Zea Harbour Project aims to recover the Athenian fleet of triremes believed to be located in the ancient harbors of Zea and Munichia,[2] in Piraeus, Athens, Greece.

The last excavation conducted by the Zea Harbour Project began on December 9, 2012[3]
