"More than 500 years underground, gone through cleaning, conservation, soaked in wax and freeze-dried - and yet these isotope signatures are still in the timbers... vessels and timber structures that previously didn't date with traditional ring dendrochronology can now potentially be dated with oxygen isotope or stable isotope dendrochronology."

@BenjaminHCCarr Thanks for highlighting this analysis suggesting widespread #medieval consumption of gray & right #whales - & the interesting #map, the #CartaMarina of 1539, with its splendid illustrations of a wide range of #SeaMonsters & their diverse tactics for dealing with aggressive seafarers.

The wine-trading #NewportShip, which sank in the #RiverUsk c.1469, has just returned to #Newport - in 2,500 pieces, after #TimberConservation in Portsmouth by the #MaryRose team. Now to find a site for reassembly & display of this great future tourist attraction! Superb storytelling & imagery in the 3 min video at https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-64151535

The #medieval seal of #Shoreham in Sussex refers to the town as Hulkesmouth, after the #ship type depicted, a hulc.

Wonderful discussion of the many images & archaeological hopes from the #NewportShip project:

I haven't seen details of the #clinker #hull of the #13thCentury #MortarWreck in #Dorset; #MedievalMastodon is it a hulc?

Attached: 1 image The birdsite may be close to foundering on the rocks, but this beautiful depiction of a 14th-century ship on one of our #medieval #seals at Magdalen College, Oxford, is still sailing strong after almost 700 years! #medievodons #histodons #archives @histodons 📷 Shoreham 17
