Abstract

The Nan’ao (南澳) No. I shipwreck was discovered in Sandianjing (三点金, three point golden island) by local fishermen when they were trawling in the sea area where they salvaged a batch of ancient ceramics. The Guangdong Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology (GDPICRA) carried out a diving inspection and located the shipwreck site after 800 pieces of ceramic were collected from the site. The UCUHC and GDPICRA co-organized a systematic underwater archaeological program to rescue and protect the shipwreck heritage in 2010–2012.
