A Thousand-Year-Old Boat and Bronze Age Artifacts Found at the Bottom of the Former Kakhovka Reservoir
In September, archaeologists worked on the Dnipro near Khortytsia Island close to Zaporizhzhia, despite hostilities roughly 45 km away. Among the finds are a Bronze Age deer antler, ceramics presumably Scythian, a fragment of a Byzantine amphora, an 18th-century anchor, and a wooden dugout boat about a thousand years old. After the destruction of the Kakhovka dam in June 2023, the territory of Velykyi Luh was exposed, with monuments from the Neolithic to the 20th century. More than 100 organizations are advocating for the territory's inclusion on the UNESCO list.
