the 2050 year old boat

Album Info:
The boat has been dated to 40 BCE (plus or minus 80 years) based on radiocarbon dating,[2] and 50 BCE to 50 CE based on pottery (including a cooking pot and lamp) and nails found in the boat, as well as hull construction techniques.[1] The evidence of repeated repairs shows the boat was used for several decades, perhaps nearly a century. When its fishermen owners thought it was beyond repair, they removed all useful wooden parts and the hull eventually sank to the bottom of the lake.[3] There it was covered with mud which prevented bacterial decomposition.
