Awesome pics, Fernando! Keep 'em coming! Is that terra cotta 'pot' in the right hand corner flat on the bottom (drinking vessel) or is it rounded (fire pot or grenade/bombard)?

Remember this?

BTW, that 'warrior' is looking pretty fierce!!

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing!

And relax, after so many hundreds of years on the bottom of the sea, a few more months won't make any difference.

Liked the last photo too. Made me smile.

Those are a few that archeologists reconstructed as from their remnants in São Lourenço, one of several settlements (Castros) we may see around, that were inhabited since III-II century BC through to Romanization.

Yes Captain, a true fire pot.
The girl with the French accent said they had to unfuse it before placing it in the vitrine .
