N2 - This is the first publication of Persian period pottery found underwater near Tel Achziv, including a Phoenician amphora bearing a two-line inscription containing the phrase “of the Sidonian[s]”. The petrographic analysis of this amphora indicates an origin in the Lebanese coast between Tyre and Sidon. These finds may reflect a maritime itiner-ary along the Phoenician coast between Sidon, “a city with an enclosed harbor”, and Achzib, a city “with a river”, as mentioned in the 4th-century BCE Periplous of Pseudo-Skylax
