In June 2024, an extensive underwater archaeological survey was carried out in Chengene Skele Bay, near the city of Burgas, Bulgaria. The expedition explored five distinct areas within the bay, revealing a wealth of artifacts and historical insights. Unearthing the Glass Vessel Cache One of the most intriguing discoveries was in an area previously known for its fragments of glass objects. Situated at a depth of 2 to 2.5 meters (6.6 to 8.2 feet), this 15-decare (3.7-acre) stony-bottomed zone yielded dozens of new whole and fragmented glass vessels, reports the Burgas Regional Historical Museum. Funded by the Municipality of Burgas and organized by the Regional Historical Museum - Burgas, this significant exploration aimed to uncover the submerged historical treasures of the bay. Building on finds from 2020 and 2021, the team Led by Prof. Dr. Ivan Hristov from the National History Museum, unearthed 112 new glass items, adding to the already significant collection of 310 vessels. These artifacts are believed to date back to the Late Ottoman period, potentially originating from a workshop on the island of Murano, Venice, in the late 16th or early 17th century.
