hopefully they will continue and persist with getting to the 7 or 9 possible buried statues (plus whatever else is under the boulder layer)

That shipwreck continues to be one of the most exciting ever.  As for how 4th C BC Greek artifacts happen to be on a Roman shipwreck... Roman looting seems the obvious answer.
