Abstract

Underwater archaeological work at Soli-Pompeiopolis in 2017 has challenged previously published descriptions of the harbour works. Excavation, sonar survey, and aerial drone survey have provided an asymmetric plan of the harbour moles with an entrance to the east, which reflects local knowledge of the wind and wave conditions. The presence of beachrock blocking the harbour is explained by Beaufort's depiction in 1811-1812 of a defunct sluice, no longer visible on the site. (C) 2018 The Author
