2.21 Clinker-built fisherman Nz42-I, so-called
watership
-Found on lot Nz 42 (I) in Southern Flevoland, north of the
village of Spakenburg, excavated in 197949.
-Stock-numbers: ZN 42/19, /20 and /21.
-Stoneware: Th e inventory includes a sherd of a jug with a
yellowish-grey fabric and sherds of a small ‘Bartmann’ with the
well-known decoration of oak leaves on the surface (fi g. 20: left
and right). Another fi nd outside the boat was a part of a small
‘Bartmann’ with a mask on the neck (fi g. 20: middle).
-Context of the pottery: found in the living-quarters behind
the fi sh well. Th e late 16th or early 17th century ‘Bartmann’
with mask on the neck was found outside the ship and isn’t
part of the inventory.
-Dating evidence: a dendrochronological fell-date of 1527-1531
provides a building date in the second quarter of the 16th century.
Wreck date on the basis of the pottery is mid- or third
quarter of the 16th century.
-Comment: several cooking pots and frying pans in redware
were also found.

fl at-based jug.
2.22 Inland (river-)boat L89
-Found on lot L 89 Eastern Flevoland, north of the town of
Dronten, excavated in 199650. Comparable with Dronten lot
K73/74 (see 2.10).
-Stock-numbers: L89/30, /33, and /45.
-Stoneware: three stoneware vessels were present: a large storage
pitcher of the Langerwehe type, a globular pitcher with a
narrow neck and a yellowish-grey fabric from the Cologne
area, comparable to the one of M 11 (see 2.16), and a small
drinking jug from Raeren (fi g. 21).
-Dating evidence: the sintel type provides a building date in
the last quarter of the 14th or the fi rst half of the 15th century.
Th e ship and several construction details have also a typical
15th century look and were probably built in an ‘old fashioned’
way. Dendrochronological fell-date 1545 ± 6 AD. One of the
fi ve collected coins, a driemijtstuk of the cities of Deventer,
Kampen and Zwolle, minted in 1556, provides provisionally the
best indication for a wreck date in the third quarter of the 16th
century.
-Comment: the inventory includes also some redware cooking
pots and frying pans.

2.23 Carvel-built fisherman W10, so-called
watership
-Found on lot W 10 in Eastern Flevoland, west of the town of
Harderwijk, excavated in 197551.
-Stock-numbers: OW 10/26, and /27.
-Stoneware: both the small jugs with a volume of c. 1 litre have
a yellowish-grey fabric, although this fabric is diff erent from
the one on M 11 (fi g. 16: left and middle).
-Dating evidence: the ship was built c. 1550 AD, according to
dendrochronological dating. Floor tiles inscribed 1561 provide
a terminus post quem for the ship, which wrecked probably
c. 1575.
-Comment: Also a redware frying pan and several cooking pots
were found.
2.24 Wreck site O27
-Found on lot O 27 in the North-East Polder, south-west of the
town of Emmeloord52.
-Stock-number: NOL 27-1.
-Stoneware: a large Langerwehe type of storage pitcher (fi g. 22)
with a volume of c. 10 litres.
-Dating evidence: based on the jug the wreck can be dated in
the second half of the 16th century.
-Comment: there is no further information available about
the ship and its inventory.
