UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY IN ROMANIA. ANCHORS DISCOVERED IN THE BLACK SEA BETWEEN 1989 AND 2017 (Constanța County, Casino area, between The Touristic Harbor of Tomis and The Commercial Harbor of Constanța)

Summary/Abstract: The subject of this study is represented by the anchors identified in the period from 1989 to 2017 in the coastal area of Constanţa, in the area known as Casino area, the perimeter between the Touristic Harbor of Tomis - latitude 44°10.615'N, and the northern seawall of the Commercial Harbor of Constanţa - latitude 44°10.000'N, between the shore and the bathymetric line of 10 meters. This work intends to highlight the elements specific to anchorage (anchors or detached components) by mapping in GPS-system, on/under bottom positioning, depth, geomorphologic description of the underwater relief in the areas of interest, technical and physical characteristics of the pieces, the preservation state and a relative dating of the artifacts. Also included are the technical data specific to diving and information regarding the circumstances of the discovery.
