interesting take that the vessel was used (most likely, as they say) as landfill to extend the shoreline. most of what we find in our backyards and in these sites tends to be the detritus of the past.

used as landfill could mean at one time it washed up on shore - it sure isn't Noah's Ark :-)

Try digging a hole in Rome.
