愛琴海卡索斯島發(fā)現(xiàn)三艘古代沉船

Greece’s Culture Ministry says three shipwrecks from ancient and mediaeval times and large sections of their cargoes have been discovered off the small Aegean island of Kasos.

希臘文化部表示，在愛琴海小島卡索斯附近發(fā)現(xiàn)了三艘古代和中古時(shí)期的沉船，以及船上的大部分貨物。

A statement Monday said an underwater survey that ended last month also located cannons and other scattered finds — possibly from other foundered vessels that have not yet been pinpointed.

星期一的一份聲明說，上個(gè)月結(jié)束的一項(xiàng)水下調(diào)查還發(fā)現(xiàn)了大炮和其他零星的發(fā)現(xiàn)——可能來自其他尚未被確定位置的沉沒船只。

The oldest of the wrecks found was a 2,300-year-old trader. Its surviving cargo included amphorae — large jars used to transport wine, oil or foodstuffs — and fine tableware. Archaeologists also located five stone anchors in the wreck.

發(fā)現(xiàn)的最古老的沉船是一艘2300年的商船。它幸存的貨物包括用來運(yùn)輸酒、油或食物的大罐罐罐和精致的餐具?？脊艑W(xué)家還在沉船上發(fā)現(xiàn)了五個(gè)石錨。

The two other ships dated to the 1st century B.C. and the 8th-10th century A.D.

另外兩艘可追溯到公元前1世紀(jì)和公元8-10世紀(jì)。

Kasos lies between Crete and Rhodes on what remains a key trade route linking the Aegean with the Middle East.

卡索斯位于克里特島和羅德島之間，如今仍是連接愛琴海和中東的一條重要貿(mào)易路線。
