Shipwreck Beads

 History of metallurgy would tell us that as early as the Bronze Age, people were already employing various kinds of minerals for mundane activities in their settlements. Aside from being exposed to the dangers present in the wildlife, individuals who existed way back in antiquity were also very much in touch with the mystery of the open seas. A proof to that are the shipwreck beads that were discovered respectively in the Uluburun Region and Orkney Islands.

Uluburun Region
In the fourteenth century, a schooner cruised from Cyprus with a load of three hundred fifty copper ingots which little to the knowledge of the crew, would soon become shipwreck beads. At the Uluburn Region, strong winds forced it to dock. As a result, large rocks hit the cedar skin of the boat thus causing major damage. Soon after, the vessel sank towards the base of the ocean. The smashing incident was very hard to the extent that the craft crashed into a rocky and steep slope.
