This disorganized site lying approximately 1.3 km offshore is a mound comprised of mud-sand, and from its surface appearance has been disturbed. Most of the artifacts are ceramics, many are broken and scattered around the site. Overall, the disturbance pattern appears to be caused from fishing dragnets. One area has an approximately 1 x 1 meter concentration of what appears to be tableware. Material on the surface of the Molunat 1 wreck has the shape forms of plates, bowls, and cups. Several examples were collected from this concentration: a bowl (CR12AA-0001), a concretion that was partially buried (CR12AA-0002), and a portion of an amphora that had a small portion break off during recovery (CR12AA-0003), a portion of an amphora full of mud (CR12AA-0004), and a small bowl that had a portion of the rim break away during recovery (CR12AA-0005). There were also indications that ceramic were buried in the mound.
