Lead Anchor Stocks on the Portuguese Coast

Paul Cochran, Flávio Calippo, Maria Santos and Filipe Castro

Introduction

A number of anchor stocks has been found by sport divers on some of the most popular diving sites along the Portuguese coast.  We are developing an inventory at the ShipLAB and trying to make sense of the entire collection, in terms of their location in the context of the Roman occupation of the territory that forms Portugal today.
