“…Regarding rise of sea level (RSL), it has been taken into consideration the research developed in the closest area to the case study, more specifically, the parameters examined in the central area of the Iberian Peninsula on its East coast by M. Vacchi and his team, stating that the 'remaining data are consistent with total RSL variation not exceeding 1 m in the late-Holocene period' (Vacchi et al 2018, 401). Finally, the data were modelled in raster format for QGIS using a combination of DTM, WMS sources and .tiff files format (for further information on the forecast model, see Fernández and Aragón 2022). This model therefore allows for the choice of a subset of spaces that contain n sites (n < N) where the 'absence' or 'presence' information of the site is known.…”

A new archaeological research project analyses the history of Isla del Fraile (Águilas, Spain), a small island off the coast occupied since at least Roman times. Its isolation means that the sea has always conditioned its connectivity and relationship with land. Despite some underwater studies carried out in previous decades, its underwater surroundings, El Hornillo Bay, continue to be relatively unexplored. In parallel to the excavation work on the island's surface, an underwater survey was carried out in the area, which is known for its archaeological wealth. The objectives of this paper are to study the underwater contexts associated with the archaeological site, to determine whether there were any ports or anchorages and to analyse the phases of greatest activity in the bay between Antiquity and the Modern Age. New data are provided, and earlier finds, either previously unpublished or from private donations, are also reviewed. The findings are discussed and related to their local and interregional contexts. The main purpose is to offer a new contribution to the study of the maritime cultural landscape of the Western Mediterranean through a region underrepresented by research.

The practice of nocturnal navigation in the Mediterranean Sea could be inferred from both archaeological and written records. While there is sufficient proof that the ships and their crew were quite familiar with nighttime sailing, current scholarship has not satisfactorily investigated how the reduction of visibility could have affected the nautical practice. For this reason, the aim of this contribution is twofold: (1) to evaluate to what extent visibility was reduced at night, and (2) to understand what kind of strategies (if any) could be put in place to overcome the difficulties of a low level of visibility. Amongst the strategies, we will also assess the impact on visibility of fixed and portable lighting devices, such as torches and pierced amphoras, as documented by the archaeological and literary evidence.
