“Other people’s disaster makes archaeologists happy!” This very personal version of a well-known adage comes spontaneously to Lorenz Baumer about the excavation site he surveyed in Greece three months ago, the Antikythera wreck. If this 40-meter-long merchant ship carrying in its holds a full cargo of works of art bound for Rome had not sunk in 60 BC. AD south of the Peloponnese, the professor of classical archeology at the University of Geneva and his colleagues would never have had the opportunity to study “the richest ancient wreck ever discovered in Greece”.
