Work by Cheryl Ward, who joined the Boston University and University of Naples l'Orientale team in December 2005, is to be published in the upcoming issue of the International Journal of Nautical Archaeology: " Florida State University anthropology professor Cheryl Ward has determined that wooden planks found in the manmade caves are about 4,000 years old - making them the world's most ancient ship timbers. Shipworms that had tunneled into the planks indicated the ships had weathered a long voyage of a few months, likely to the fabled southern Red Sea trading center of Punt, a place referenced in hieroglyphics on empty cargo boxes found in the caves."
