The metallic objects are extremely varied in nature and include everyday items as well as those used for ritual purposes.
More than 2,200 artifacts dating from 'prehistory to the present day'—including a Roman gold ring and a Bronze Age ax—have been collected in an archaeological prospecting project in Portugal.The project, which involves the use of metal detectors, identified the artifacts in the dredged sediments of the Arade River and Alvor estuary, located in the Algarve region in the south of the country, Portuguese news agency Lusa reported.
'Among the objects collected from the sediments are a group of items related to shipbuilding and navigation, including those integrated into boats, such as nails, bolts and caulking lead, as well as various instruments that supported navigation—a notable example being a 16th-17th-century compass, Freitas told Newsweek.Other objects shed light on how the mouth of the Arade River has served as a gateway for 'goods, people and ideas' for thousands of years.
