Adjoining fragments are end of a flat scarf of hull plank which is nailed onto the joining scarf end, perpendicular to the planking's thickness (tip was nailed down, this indicates a bottom-based construction method; otherwise it would nailed into one of the underlying frames). Nail is square in section. Timber has two treenails, round in section, that are pegged, pegs square in section, on its exterior surface. Exterior surfaces: sheathing nail holes, square in section, closely spaced in diagonal or alternating pattern.
