Phanagoria – the largest known ancient Greek settlement on the territory of Russia is situated on the Taman peninsula on the\udsouthern side of the Taman bay. The unique feature of the site is that about 1/3 of the settlement of Phanagoria is currently flooded\udby waters of the Taman bay due to the transgression of the Black sea level since antiquity. In 2012 in the course of underwater\udprospection of the Taman bay a wooden ship buried under the 1.5 m thick bottom sediments was discovered in situ. The unique\udfeature of the ship is excellent preservation of its wooden parts, which makes it one of the few finds of this kind ever made on the\udterritory of Russia. This paper presents a case-study of application of photogrammetry technique for archaeological field\uddocumentation record in course of underwater excavations of the Phanagorian shipwreck. The advantages and possible underwaterspecific\udconstraints of automated point cloud extraction algorithm which was used in the research are discussed. The paper gives an\udoverview of the practical aspects of the workflow of photgrammetry technique application at the excavation ground: photo capture\udprocedure and measurement of control points. Finally a resulting 3-D model of the shipwreck is presented and high potential of\udautomated point cloud extraction algorithms for archaeological documentation record is concluded
