This article analyses the results of the author’s 2016–2018 underwater researches in the southern area of the Strait of Kerch (Cimmerian Bosporos in Antiquity) at Cape Tuzla. These works resulted in the discovery of primitive stone anchors, fragments of stone-and-wood and lead-and-wood anchor devices, and also fossilized parts and forms of iron anchors. The fragments of ancient and early medieval amphorae risen from the sea bottom date from the sixth century BC to the eight-to-tenth centuries AD
