Large wooden anchor (about 3 m long by 2.5 wide), without stump and counter bar. The anchor was found not far from the remains of the cargo ship A.

Embossed gold cross from the excavation of a Lombard tomb, the F. Pisa tomb, Piazza dei Miracoli, first half of the 7th century. A.D.

Found fragmentary at the end of the 1980s in the area of a construction site in the north of Pisa, and almost entirely rebuilt, the funerary stone, in Apuan marble, must have consisted of two parts: the lower one in the shape of a parallelepiped while the upper crown presented the shape of an onion stone. On the edges are sculpted rampant lions and in the center, probably repeated on the four faces, a female figure, interpreted as a "Mermaid with a fan-shaped tail". The iconography is typical of the Greek female statuary representation of the Archaic period (6th century BC)

Roman bronze rostrum of unknown origin. Judicial confiscation

Oak prow of the Alkedo ship. Fixed to the ship's structure by means of a series of sturdy bronze nails, it had to be covered with an iron sheet, the imprint of which was still visible during the excavation phase.

“Toy” terracotta horse found in the alluvial layers near Nave A, dates back to the end of the second century. A.D.

Sunk within the first half of the 1st century. AD, has been identified as a pleasure boat. The structure, in holm oak and pine, with an insert in the bow of oak wood, has been preserved in an extraordinary way: the benches on which the rowers sat and a tablet nailed on one of the benches that shows, engraved on the wood, the five letters that make up the word ALK (E) DO. Gabbiano in fact, translated from Latin, is the name that identifies the ship. During the excavation phase, the traces of red and white, the colors with which the boat must have been painted, were still clearly visible on the external sides.

Reproduction of the bag of vegetable fibers and fabric (only filaments remain of the original) and of the 171 bronze sesterces (these perfectly preserved) found in the context of the "sailor's baggage". The coins, dated from the second half of the II to the middle of the III century. A.D., they were contained in a bag and, together with other objects, were found in one of the two compartments of a wooden box, fitted with a lid and lock, dug in one of the layers of sand that covered ship A.

The history of the ships of Pisa begins in October 1998, with the discovery of the remains of the first of the boats that started one of the most extraordinary archaeological excavations of the last twenty years, ship A, of which a portion of the keel is preserved ( about 10 m long). It was a cargo ship about 30 meters long, sunk with its cargo of goods towards the end of the second century. A.D.

The "barchino F", 9 m long by about 1 wide, was overwhelmed by a wave of flood in the area of the excavation of the ships of Pisa at the beginning of the second century AD; the small boat was found folded on one side. Made entirely of oak wood, with a double hull, it was probably used for fishing and to move goods along the waterways that crossed the Pisan plain. Perhaps along the shallow canals only one man was enough to push the boat by pivoting with a pole on the bottom of the canal, as can still be seen today, for example, in the canals of the Fucecchio Marshes.

On the left, still in iron, probably equipped with a mobile stock, like the example of Nemi, found in the layers of the late I - early II century. A.D. On the right, reconstruction of a Roman anchor with original lead stock, of unknown origin, recovered during a judicial seizure.

Marble relief, perhaps pertaining to an antefix, with the representation of a theatrical mask. Found in the flood layers of the second century. A.D.

Boat datable to around the middle of the third century. A.D., found below ship D, which sank a little less than two hundred years later. In oak wood, it has a structure very similar to that of a river barge; it was probably used for the movement of goods and people along the river bank, by means of a towpath.

Sunk within the first half of the 1st century BC. AD, has been identified as a pleasure boat. The structure, in holm oak and pine, with an insert in the bow of oak wood, has been preserved in an extraordinary way: the benches on which the rowers sat and a tablet nailed on one of the benches that shows, engraved on the wood, the five letters that make up the word ALK (E) DO. Gabbiano, in fact, translated from Latin, is the name that identifies the ship. During the excavation phase, the traces of red and white, the colors with which the boat must have been painted, were still clearly visible on the external sides.

1: 1 copy of the Alkedo ship

Relief decoration, probably the representation of a ray fish, present on the table fixed with iron nails to the large wooden anchor

By the first half of the fifth century. A.D. Ship D, a medium-sized river barge, sinks, closing the sequence of known boats: it is in fact the last sinking of a boat within the excavated context of the shipyard of ancient ships. The ship was found completely overturned, almost completely devoid of the keel but with much of the dead work (the part of the boat's hull above the waterline) still intact, as can be seen in the museum.

During the excavation of the “Hellenistic ship”, four fragmentary terracotta perfume burners (thymiateria) were found, with the representation of female busts. Only one of the four still has the remains of the tub, which was probably destined to contain the essences to be burned, still visible on its head. Objects similar to these have been found in the Alicante area (an incredible amount is exhibited in the beautiful museum); this suggests that even the thymiaterias found in the Pisan context may have come from the Iberian peninsula.

Playing dice in bone, rigged, with locking disk, also in bone, of the rigged face; found in the flood layers of the II century. A.D.

Cinerary urn, without lid, from the deposits of the Archaeological Superintendence. Below the frame, on the front, in bas-relief, a representation of Ulysses bewitched by the Song of the Sirens: on the right a ship with outstretched sails, to whose mast is tied a man dressed only in his cloak, Ulysses, and the sailors seated on the benches intent to row. On the left three seated female figures, dressed in tunic and cloak, intent on playing. The representation of the cycle of Ulysses is particularly widespread in the Volterra area in the Hellenistic period.
