Re: Andrew Many thanks for these

Hi Emily,

Yes, all 82 fragments were recovered in 1901. It's quite likely that they were all in one or just a few pieces then, maybe even in the wooden box (which would have had the consistency of wet cardboard after 2000 years). However, I heard a report that some of it fell away during the raise to the surface so there may be more down there. But the seabed slopes from 50 to 300m (150 to 1500 feet) there so it would be a major dive and it would take a long time to get permission. Some pieces were not identified as part of the Mechanism until very recently though - they look like pieces of green rock.

Andrew.
