We Went Back to Constantinople

They (that all-encompasing "they") have found an old (aww, I wanted a new one!) Byzantine harbor.

Yes, the sarcasm is aimed at myself, not the article. The whole thing actually sounds very interesting (anyone want to take me there? pleasepleaseplease... aww, it's only halfway around the world..). It's a fairly extensive site, with old buried buildings, a number of sunken ships, and everything else port-related down to that harborside trash that always shows up with so many people walking around and ships coming in. There are so many artifacts that they're going to rebury some of them after cataloging them, along with modern day coins so that future archeologists will know that it isn't a pristine site if it is lost/forgotten and then refound.

I'm getting very clear images of Atlantis from the game Legacy of Time as I think about this, particularly the pottery. Brilliant game; I was always very fascinated by those settings and stories.
