Prehistoric tools and ancient anchors were recently discovered during an underwater excavation of a 2,500-year-old shipwreck off the coast of Sicily.
The Superintendence of the Sea (SopMare), a Sicilian governmental organization responsible for protecting ancient artifacts in sea waters, announced the discovery Dec. 9. The shipwreck, which dates back to the fifth- or sixth-century B.C., was found near Ragusa, a city in southeast Sicily.
