Hafted with modern wood for display in the Bodrum Museum, these pick-like objects were probably also plow shares. A double-bladed bronze axe from the cargo of scrap metal. More scrap bronze tools. Claude Duthuit look at a stone hammer head. Stone hammers depicted with scrap bronze tools.
All handles are modern.
Some of the metalworking tools on display. This small chisel for cutting mortises, its wooden handle still partly preserved, may have been for shipboard repairs rather than cargo. Casting waste includes the bits of bronze that would have been formed in the funnel-like openings in molds, and later cut away from the finished casts. A large, flat, close-grained stone found in the middle of the ship, larger than the surrounding ballast stones, may have been used as an anvil at a time before iron anvils were current. Once hammered into shape, tools were sharped with whetstones and then polished with stone polishers, of which many were found in the living area of the wreck.
