Wood artifacts




There were a few wood pieces found. This piece of wood is the largest found, and measures about 7 inch (18 1/2 cm.) long. It's of a very hard type. It's uncertain whether it is from the ship's wood supply for cooking, however the left end of this piece appears charred. The right end looks like it is rust stained where it may have been pined under some iron, thus keeping it from floating away.

The rest of the wood found consists of seven fragments ranging from 4 1/2 down to 1 1/2 inches (11 to 4 cm.) in length.
