Other examples show various degrees of degradation, but are a marvel nonetheless at affordable prices. DISCOVERY AND RECOVERY: The ceramic artifacts began to appear in 1993 when local fisherman found pieces caught in their nets. After the importance of the discovery was established, the Vietnamese government intervened and sought assistance to locate the source. The shipwre... read more
