Description

This axe appeared on the beach of Alcanar, in the same area where years ago small circular copper ingots were found that it was possible to date to the Late Bronze-Early Iron Age. There are different terrestrial deposits in this period in this area. We don't know if this is a cargo ship from this period or if it is a land site that has been submerged.
