Cape Gelidonya shipwreck
ship did not survive, because the strong currents kept the marine silt from settling over it, which is how timbers survive underwater
ship was 10 meters long
1490-1436 Tuthmosis III on, representations of oxhide ingots appear frequently in Egyptian art
1190-1162 Ramesses III the latest, but probably copy of 13th century
so no evidence after 1200
oxhide ingots not meant to be shaped like oxhides
not a unit of currency, as did not weigh the same
source of tin for the Bronze Age Aegean is a hotly disputed question
5 scarabs found in the cabin area, probably belonging to members of the crew
from 1785 to late 13th century
a single cylinder seal, possibly the captain's, from the 18th century
---------------
infrared spectroscopy to determine sources of amber
earliest Greek amber from GCB 1725-1675 using the high chronology
