Unlike the majority of other pots recovered, this artifact comes with the remains of Keel Worm tubes on it. Keel Worm tubes can be found on objects that have been sitting on the seabed, suggesting this pot was at least partly visible for some time and it looks as if there were two different species that called this pot home.
