    A wonderful summation Richard. I have set the wheels in motion for carbon dating. It is now a waiting game. I am not sure the attitude of the shard would lend itself to a vessel as you mentioned. there is little if any curvature that might indicate such. But, this could be the cover or side structure of some container. It’s just too straight to be of a jar type vessel. An odd question: How did the Egyptians trade with South American tribes, to acquire cocoa leaves, such as were found the Kings Valley tombs? I believe their seaworthy vessels had low gunnels as well. I believe there to be much unwritten information about sea travel and the where and when of history. Grateful regards, JAMES R HEATH

Sappho, spelled (in the dialect spoken by the poet) Psappho, (born c. 610, Lesbos, Greece — died c. 570 BCE). A lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style.

Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular and poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. She has the ability to judge critically her own ecstasies and grief, and her emotions lose nothing of their force by being recollected in tranquillity.
