Welcome on board the Black Sea Maritime Archaeology Project!
– Free resources to inspire pupils with real-world STEM and introduce them to careers they may not realise exist.
What is it?
The Black Sea Maritime Archaeology (Black Sea MAP) project was a three-year interdisciplinary expedition researching ancient coastlines and seafaring history of the Bulgarian Black Sea.
You can meet the individuals and teams that work on the project, see STEM skills and technologies in action and experience the challenges of solving problems at sea to uncover the past.
