Line 1: Line 1:
Most of these images depict tiny fragments of highly oxidized ferrous metal recovered in 2007 from the SL-Fire Feature at the Seven Site, Nikumaroro.  A small proportion were found in a discrete rectangular concentration about 40 cm. on a side, suggesting a can or metal box of approximately those dimensions.  Many of the fragments contain rivets or pins of some kind, often near finished edges.  The metal is very thin (ca. 1 mm. or less) and is laminated.  Several straight edges have been found, along with a couple of square corners and right-angle bends.  Some edges may have been finished by being wrapped over and around pieces of straight wire, a number of fragments of which were recovered.
