Archaeological excavations at the Gallic site of Urville-Nacqueville, some ten kilometers west of Cherbourg, unearthed a highly original wooden object in 2010. In fact, it was the first object of its kind to be discovered in Celtic Gaul. Preserved from natural decay by constant soil moisture since its burial between 120 and 80 BC, it was uncovered in an enclosure ditch alongside an equally remarkable deposit of whale ribs.
