We were incredibly excited.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The design of these amphorae \u2014   with two handles, a flat base and a ridge in the middle \u2014 was distinctive to pottery from that period of history.<\/p>\n<p>Karin Sowada, an archaeologist at Australia&#8217;s Macquarie University, examined the pots after they were brought to the surface. She told the BBC that there was still a viscous, glossy residue inside some of the amphorae.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I looked inside and nearly fainted. I could not believe how much [residue] was visible. It wasn&#8217;t just like spots \u2026 a lot of this material was still remaining,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed__float-wrap\">\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image
