Bronze age shipwreck discovered

Very interesting! This is the type of story I enjoy reading. I'm not about contradict the experts...that's why they are experts. I'm curious why they assume the coper and tin were coming into England and not out of. There were successful copper mines extant around the suggested period. One of which is now a museum and is massive.

It is first time tin ingots from this period have ever been found in Britain, a discovery which may support theories that the metal was being mined in the south west at this time. How fascinating. So they aren't sure whether the Celts in Devon were mining tin? For some reason I thought they knew more about the mining and that was what put that part of the ancient world on the map.

A terribly good point you both made... Why ship tin into Devon, where it was so prevalent they could originally, during the Bronze Age, simply pick it up off of the ground? It isn't as if they ran out... they are thinking of reopening the Tin mines currently...
