The quantity of artefacts salvaged never ceases to amaze me. The condition of some of them is astounding, as if the ship sank yesterday. DNA analysis would depend upon whether it is lice or nits (spent eggs) clogging the combs I would think.Judith Arnopphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10734149908148034800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-59127908895387067372013-07-18T07:50:05.320-07:002013-07-18T07:50:05.320-07:00Interesting post.

But I think seeing actual fragments and artifacts salvaged from the real Mary Rose would be even more moving. Like Michele, I wonder if some DNA could be extracted from some of the artifacts like the comb.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-14635669082699942982013-07-17T10:46:00.050-07:002013-07-17T10:46:00.050-07:00Thank you for personalizing this for the followers...Thank you for personalizing this for the followers of the blog.

I haven't been to the new exhibition but when I saw it years ago it made such an impact - the small articles more than the hull itself. An interesting thought about the DNA :)Judith Arnopphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10734149908148034800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-53217502628061152212013-07-17T08:13:00.288-07:002013-07-17T08:13:00.288-07:00So interesting!

Match it with a living relative? Wouldn't that be something!<br />In writing my historical fiction, I love to home in on the little things. The things not written in history books--the women spinning and weaving, cooking.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12429730420678601455noreply@blogger.com
