Ancient authors refer to harbour dredging. The seven arms of the [[Nile]] were channelled and wharfs built at the time of the pyramids (4000 BC), there was extensive harbour building in the eastern Mediterranean from 1000 BC and the disturbed sediment layers gives evidence of dredging. At [[Marseille]], dredging phases are recorded from the third century BC onwards, the most extensive during the first century AD. The remains of three dredging boats have been unearthed; they were abandoned at the bottom of the harbour during the first and second centuries AD.<ref name="MMC">{{cite web |last1=Morhange |first1=Christophe |last2=Marriner |first2=Nick |last3=Carayon |first3=Nicolas |title=The eco-history of ancient Mediterranean harbours |url=https://www.ancientportsantiques.com/wp-content/uploads/Documents/AUTHORS/Morhange-PublGenerales/Morhange2016-HistoryPorts.pdf|access-date=1 July 2018}}</ref>
