About This Material
Piece of wood bearing concave scrape marks that Gary Drayton attributed to an adze, recovered from the swamp west of the stone wharf. Found in the same area as a trapezoid-shaped piece Gary thought came from inside a ship and another shaped piece resembling an oar or paddle. Marine archaeologist Dr. E. Lee Spence was called in to evaluate the swamp ship evidence.
