Remains of the oldest known shipwreck, Eastern Mediterranean, just to the south of Asia Minor (Anatolia)

This was dated by the decorations on ceramic vessels, a tried and trusted method, to 2700–2400 B.C.

By the way, the three subdivisions of the Bronze Age are of rather unequal duration, to a large degree because much more is known about the later parts:
Early Bronze Age (EBA): 3500–2100;
Middle Bronze Age (MBA): 2100–1700;
Late Bronze Age (LBA): 1700–1200
(approximately).

«Prof Hakan Öniz, from Akdeniz University in Turkey»
"Ak deniz" is Turkish for "White Sea", another name of the Aegean Sea, which is right to the west of Asia Minor.

The final paragraph (hyperlinked) is:

«The oldest known shipwreck where some of the wood is still preserved was found in the Black Sea off the coast of Bulgaria. It dates to about 2,400 years ago.»

There was a substantial British-Bulgarian (Hull University?) deep sea expedition in the Black Sea several years ago and they made very impressive photographs.
Looking at one of them, I could almost hear the boatswain's whistle.
There is hydrogen sulphide dissolved in the deep waters of the Black Sea, so wood is preserved.
