The different types of pottery amphorae recovered by Hercules were an early form of branding. "The shape reflects the area where the amphorae were made," explains maritime archaeologist Cheryl Ward (above). Ward, a professor at Florida State University, directed excavations of three shipwrecks during the Black Sea leg of the expedition. She is still unsure of the recovered jars' contents, but took samples for future analysis. "We know the area was famous for olive oil," she says.
