Finally, Anthony Birley on the Porcupine Bank pot, fwiw :) https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=JzEp5Di15o8C&pg=PA127&lpg=PA127#v=onepage&q&f=false …pic.twitter.com/XEktIy8SpL

The Arch Journal, 1936, notes found in "undisturbed gravel under clay"; used as doorstop at HMV factory until pointed out what it was! :)
@caitlinrgreen Somewhere in the Atlantic is the sarcophagus of Seti I. It was lost while being shipped to UK. Isn't this prob similar case?
@noah_nonsense Maybe someone heading to USA, perhaps? Def poss but intriguing nonetheless & ancient break may make modern loss less likely?
@caitlinrgreen It's got to be more likely than a Roman vessel (wonderful as that would be). :-(
@noah_nonsense Spoilsport! ;) Possibly, tho' anchors suggest Roman ships in coastal waters in SW/West, so Cunliffe's suggestions could work?
@caitlinrgreen Really sorry... :-(
@noah_nonsense Hah! I forgive you :) Still hope you're wrong though! ;)
@m39618462 Do they move around? It's not something I've ever really looked into, must admit! :)
@caitlinrgreen @DorothyKing There's a sea story in there that needs Joseph Conrad.
