In addition, archaeologists also recovered two intact wine containers, several ceramic pots, a bowl, a cooking pot, and a few fragments were also found and taken out of the cave. The cave was discovered by accident by a cave researcher and senior lecturer at Zefat College, Yinon Shivtiel when he conducted a western survey of the Galilee area to locate the cave. supposedly the refuge and residence of the ancient people.

Danny Syon, a longtime archaeologist of the IAA and a participant in the excavation, said it was puzzling how these ships were in the cave by bringing these ships into the cave. It is extremely difficult. According to Syon, these relics seem to belong to ancient Greek civilization around the 1st and 3rd centuries BC.

The ships will be tested at an IAA facility for restoration and research, to determine what historical events they are involved in.
