L'épave antique de la baie de Cavalière (Le Lavandou, Var)

Roman Rigging Material from the Red Sea Port of Myos Hormos

“…The remaining excavated brail‐rings were all wooden, and are paralleled by Mediterranean finds from the Cavalière and Grand Ribaud D shipwrecks (Charlin et al , 1978: 57–60; Hesnard et al , 1988: 105–26). These sites produced small numbers of brail‐rings, making meaningful comparative analysis of diameter (possible with the Myos Hormos, Grand‐Congloué and Kyrenia examples) difficult.…”

“…It might be possible to account for the difference in sheave diameter by the use of bigger sheaves in blocks designed to resist higher loads. Comparative disc sheaves, or blocks using disc sheaves, have been excavated from the Cavalière (Charlin et al , 1978: 57–60), County Hall (Marsden, 1974: fig. 8.2), Grand Ribaud D (Hesnard et al , 1988: 105–26), La Ciotat (Benoit, 1962: 168–9, fig.…”

“…4) in order to illustrate their characteristics. Comparative examples of brail‐rings, made from lead as well as wood, have been excavated from the Cavalière (Charlin et al , 1978: 57–60), Grand Congloué (Benoit, 1961: 178–9, pl. 30), Grand Ribaud D (Hesnard et al , 1988: 105–26), Kyrenia (pers.…”

Ancient Mediterranean Sewn-Boat Traditions

“…It should also be noted that on the Cavalière wreck, this system of internal lashing was also used for an element of the upper works of the boat (Charlin et al. , : 57–60).…”

Stratification and contamination in ancient Mediterranean shipwrecks

“…An example of the last type is Cavaliere: the site, at 43 m depth, was discovered by echo sounder, which registered a small hump on the flat, sandy bottom of Cavaliere bay. Excavatlon showed that a layer of sand, 50 cm thick, lay directly on the amphoras or ballast stones of the wreck (Charlin et al, 1978). At Chrdtienne C, too, encrustation was lacking, though here the upper part of the wreck appears to have been lost, owing to the action of helmet divers and fishing nets, before its discovery in 1954 (Fig.…”
