8th Century Ship Found

Now this is quite an interesting find in the Mediterranean.

The wreck [image] was found almost a decade ago but only today were details released after a prolonged series of excavations. Using carbon dating techniques, the wreck was dated to the early 8th century, some 1,300 years ago.

It was carrying some pretty interesting trade goods as well. I wonder if this ship was Roman or was it from the people that lived in this area during that time?

Kahanov said it is a rare find given the amount of wood that's been
preserved in the hull. Also found were 30 vessels of pottery of different sizes
and designs containing fish bones, ropes, mats, a bone needle, a wooden spoon,
wood carvings and food remains, mainly carobs and olives.
