Possible Marble Apothecary Tray
This marble object was recovered in 1998. Its identity was initially unknown. Additional research suggests that it might be an apothecary tray.

The marble artifact that is believed to be an apothecary tray was located to the north and west of the stowed cannon. It was found amidst a tangle of bar stock and other artifacts including .69 caliber lead shot, 6 pound iron cannon balls, and a brass hinge. The base measures 12.3 cm by 12.2 cm and is 3.2 cm thick. The center circle impression measures 5 cm in diameter and is 1.6 cm deep. The four adjacent circular impressions have an outer diameter of just under 3 cm and are .08 cm deep.
