Abstract

During underwater archaeological investigation in the water area of Sevastopol, a joint expedition of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Sevastopol State University discovered two unique underwater objects. Near the settlement of Balaklava, as a result of exploration using side-scan sonar, the shipwrecks were located, which date back to the 11th — 12th centuries AD Further studies of these deep-water objects (their depth is 85—86 meters) were carried out using a Remotely Operated Vehicle. Well-preserved fragments of wooden structures of ships were found, as well as, on one of the ships, a cargo consisting of amphorae.
