This review is from: Yassi Ada: Volume I, A Seventh-Century Byzantine Shipwreck (Ed Rachal Foundation Nautical Archaeology Series) (Hardcover)

This is the full dig report for the Yassi Ada 7th century ship. For those with an interest in ship building the info on construction should be very interesting. Metal workers will like the large collection of tools incl hammers, files and bill hooks, also a bronze pitcher and cauldron. The chapter on the anchors is facinating. The pottery is extensive incl Red Slip and Lead Glazed wares and coarse cooking wares. And of course amphoras, lots of them. Plenty of pottery lamps too.
I'll leave an analasys of the Archeology to someone qualified. I was able to folow most of the book with little trouble.
