This link to an 8th century shipwreck. I have never had carob before but it sounds interesting:
The term "carat" or the units by which diamond weight is measured, is derived from the ancient practice of weighing diamonds against the seeds of the carob tree. The system was eventually standardized and one carat was fixed at 0.2 grams.

Ballard and the Black Sea.
Ballard didn't find this 8th century wreck but he came to mind with his work in the Mediterranean.
Gator also sent this link to a rare shark film. Another article is here. Pretty cool.
