Cargo

There are very few clues to what the cargo of this vessel may be.  We know how carefully laid and sturdy was the ceiling planking, we know that there was a mat over the ceiling planking and that above that mat there were two layers of dunage.  But the only object found between the frames a walnut bearing mouse teeth marks, and fully eaten.

The round concretions found around the shipwreck can be barrel woops, but so far, and until the concretion A1-21, which was raised, is analyzed and X-rayed it is impossible to say one way or another.  And even if these are in fact barrel woops, we still cannot state whether these barrels were related to the cargo, or to the crew's victuals.
