The Maagan Mikhael B shipwreck lies at a depth of 2 m of water, buried under 1.5 m of sand off the Mediterranean coast of Israel. The archaeological remains exposed are in a good state of preservation, and comprise endposts, aprons, framing timbers, hull planks, stringers and bulkheads. The various finds include rigging elements, organic finds and ceramic ware. Preliminary dating was corroborated by 14C AMS analyses of wood and organic samples to the 7th-9th century AD: the late Byzantine-early Islamic period in the region.
