Scattered timbers


Some timbers were found lying around the upper portion of the hull.  The most important were timber fragment A1-10, possibly part of a frame, and timber A1-36, possibly just a spare timber.

Timber fragment A1-10 was found on Trench 2.  It measured 107 x 13 x 13 cm and had a mortise on one of its extremities.  It was raised and will hopefully be fully drawn and analyzed in order to establish its provenience and structural function.

Timber A1-36 was a long pine timber of 18 x 18 cm square section, 4.40 m long, found on Trench 4, underneath the hull, lying above the three dead eyes found on the port side of the shipwreck.  Its function is unknown.
