RK18 A00026 Copper Alloy Bowl

3D Model

RK18 A00026 is a concreted copper alloy bowl and was found during the archaeological excavation of the Rooswijk in 2018.

In 2016, Dutch and British archaeologists undertook a survey on the site of the Dutch East Indiaman Rooswijk which showed it was at high risk. To address this, a team has come together from Historic England and the Dutch Cultural Heritage Agency (RCE) to undertake an archaeological excavation in summer 2017 and 2018.
