The Ferriby 5 Boat Fragment
A further small fragment of timber from the North Ferriby boat-site is described and interpreted as the detached top of a cleat from a boat. Radiocarbon dating evidence suggests that it is contemporary with Ferriby 4. The report includes commentary on the use of alder in boat building and the occurrence of integrally formed cleats as housing fur inserted transverse timbers or, in certain circumstances, for the attachment of cords or bindings
A Fourth Boat-Find at North Ferriby, Humberside
The discovery is reported of a timber from North Ferriby here interpreted as a piece of boat-planking and therefore the fourth boat-find from that intertidal site. The implications of its radiocarbon age are discussed. Although only a small fragment, the find has some highly significant features and it is argued that it is a piece of a sheerstrake of a boat, conceivably of a late version of the Ferriby-type hitherto represented by the three examp…
Radiocarbon Ages and Calibrated Dates for the Boats from North Ferriby, Humberside—A Reappraisal
The techniques used for new determinations of the radiocarbon ages of the fragments of boats discovered at North Ferriby are described, together with a demonstration of the application to the results of a computer-based calibration procedure. An interpretation is suggested of the possible calibrated date-ranges thus generated. Archaeological implications of these are considered both in connection with the dates for other British craft that have b…
A Bronze Age Beach‐capstan
The interpretation of a timber found by the writer and his brother in 1939 at the North Ferriby boat‐site as part of an apparatus for hauling boats has stood for nearly forty years. Recent study of ethnographic parallels has suggested a significant modification of the reconstruction proposed in 1947. The revised hypothesis is examined and compared with recent beach‐capstans from Northern Europe. While the attribution to the Bronze Age cannot now …
Artefacts from the boat-site at North Ferriby, Humberside, England
It is thirty years since the first publication (Wright and Wright 1947) of the collection of artifacts found over a period of years from the site at North Ferriby, which yielded the three boat-relics now identified as of the Early or Middle Bronze Age. With the increasing recognition of the importance of the boat finds themselves, the latest information on which has recently been published in a National Maritime Museum Monograph (Wright 1976), it…
The Boats from North Ferriby, Yorkshire, England, with a review of the origins of the sewn boats of the Bronze Age
The fortunate discovery by the first author and his son, R. W. Wright, in March 1963 of a third in the series of sewn boats from North Ferriby, making the fourth in the group from the Humber basin, if the Brigg ‘Raft’ is included, has provided a convenient starting point for a review of the whole subject in the light of new evidence as to age. This in turn has led to rather firmer conclusions about their possible affinities and origin than were p…
Prehistoric Boats from North Ferriby, East Yorkshire
The discovery of part of a large ‘sewn’ boat on the banks of the Humber at North Ferriby, East Yorkshire, in 1937, was announced just before the late war. Exploration which revealed many of the outstanding details of construction as well as the limits of the find, was carried out during 1938 and 1939, with a view to full excavation and, if possible, salvage in 1940. This prospect naturally disappeared on the outbreak of war, leaving us in some an…
