Berta Lledó
Berta Lledo, Archaeologist, database design, webmaster.


In 1993 Berta came to Bodrum to volunteer for the Institute of Nautical Archaeology researching about the 11th century AD glass recovered from the wreck at Serce Liman. Since that time, she has been part of the projects at INA-Turkey.  She is working with Prof. George F. Bass and Sheila Matthews on the publication of the 11th century Serce Liman Glass. In 1999 and 2000 she participated in the excavation of the 2500 years old Tektas Shipwreck.  During 1996 – 1999  she worked as a project archaeologist at the underwater imaging surveys.

In every underwater excavation, it was Berta who makes the excavation run smoothly.   Berta has created and designed the database system now used to manage all the information from related to The Tektas Project and the Mombasa shipwreck in Kenya. She is also responsible for the database design in the SOA project. I am sure that the database with the results of our project will be a working model for other archaeologists.

Besides being an archaeologist, Berta is good at graphics too. These great web site were built with the combination of Berta's graphical and technical knowledge.
