UWF's Greg Cook

Archeologists led by the University of West Florida's Greg Cook this summer became the first to investigate wreckage of a sunken ship from colonial West African trade. The UWF and Syracuse University team surveyed shipwrecks off the coast of Ghana in a venture with Ghana Museums and Monuments Board funded by the National Geographic Society. Some 100 artifacts will be displayed at UWF's Archeology Institute, then returned to Ghana.
