You might consider this - as an example of a rather ancient project, Lisa,
if you want comparanda - but a rather smaller vessel, I imagine:
Wilson D G and Conolly A P. 1978. Plant remains including the evidence for
hops. 133-50. In: Fenwick V (ed). The Graveney Boat: a tenth century find
from Kent. BAR BS 53. (and the more detailed later report on hops: Wilson D
G. 1975. Plant remains from the Graveney Boat and the early history of
Humulus lupulus L. in W. Europe. New Phytol. 75. 627-48.)
