Introduction
In late 2003, this author was invited by the Institute of Nautical Archaeology (INA) to take part in the 2004 survey for ancient shipwrecks on the Turkish coast. This was a joint INA–Western Australian Maritime Museum Project and planned to search for the ‘Demeter’ wreck and carry out a pre-disturbance survey on the Aslan Burnu wreck. The sites are located on the coast west of Bodrum, the Demeter wreck being on the Bozburun Peninsular and the Aslan Burnu wreck on the Datcha Peninsular near Knidos (see Figure 1).
