Full Description

Adjacent to the site of the boat (ESMR 17645) found in 1993 Mr. Hawkins also found a metal object. Because of the D- Shaped profile , it is considered to be most likely a door- fitting and therefore not ancient. Also bones of horse and cattle- a leg bone and skull fragment (respectively). <1>.
