Ancient Shipwreck Dated Using An 800-Year-Old “Made In China” Label

Hundreds of years ago, a ship carrying thousands of ceramics and luxury goods sank off of Indonesia’s Java coast. Its wooden hull disintegrated over the years, leaving a “treasure trove of cargo” exposed for fishermen to discover the wreckage 26 meters (85-feet) below sea level in the 1980s.

Over the next three decades, archaeologists have been trying to piece together the ship’s history by studying retrieved artifacts. An initial investigation in the 1990s dated the shipwreck to the mid-13th century. However, it wasn’t until recently researchers uncovered a surprising clue. Copied on the bottom of one of the ceramic pieces is inscribed the equivalent of a “Made in China” sticker.
