Pump well


As mentioned above, we found a circular hole carved between floor timbers C21 and C22 that could only be used to house the lower portion of the ship's pump.

It was roughly 20 cm in diameter and showed marks of the curved chisel that was used to carve it, with a blade around 4 cm wide (see Fig. 55).
