A new archaeological investigation of the Antikythera shipwreck off the coast of the Greece has turned up a variety of ancient relics.

The shipwreck was first found over a hundred years ago, and reportedly dates back to between 60 and 70 B.C.

Most notably, a previous team of divers inspecting the wreckage found a computer-like device that is believed to have been used to calculate the astronomical locations of stars and planets.

This time around, divers led by the Hellenic Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities in Greece, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the United States found more sunken artifacts.

While excavating the underwater site, they found a six and half foot long bronze spear buried in the sediment, along with several lead anchors, and a bronze piece of the boat’s rigging ring.

Experts say the spear was probably part of a statue of the warrior goddess Athena, or some other larger sculpture.

Previous expeditions have recovered several bronze and marble statues from the wreckage.

Because the remains of the ship are 180 feet down below the surface of the water, divers have to use special gear and can only excavate for three hours at a time.
