The 2009 project in Capraia saw ProMare and SBAToscana involved in the mapping, recording, and excavation of a 4 x 4 m testing trench to verify the presence of the main cargo, and possible hull remains, of a second-century B.C. underwater site close to the northern tip of the island and to the rocks called Le Formiche, facing the promontory called Punta Teglia (Fig. 1).
