L35 (Boat model L. 02-201; B.2137): Complete boat model discovered near the center of the southern wall of the tomb along with other burial gifts that include two round-bodied mushroom jugs dated to the 8^th century B.C. One of the posts is broken at gunwale level. Crescenting/rockered hull with vertical, symmetrical posts. The preserved post curves upward at a fairly sharp angle, then gains a slight inward inclination above gunwale level. It has a flat undecorated extremity (1.2-1.5 cm wide, 1cm thick), its end worn away. The gunwale is flat and horizontal. On the outside of the hull can be discerned three longitudinal lines which could be read as keel, chine and wale. It is more likely however that these are the result of crude workmanship rather than actual features, considering that they occur on only one half of the hull while the other side is smooth. Likewise, the lowermost line running along the boat's length which could be read as the keel is not centered. The inside of the hull is smooth, with no indication of frames, thwarts or other internal features. The cross section is open without tumblehome. The breadth to length ratio is roughly 1:2.6 which suggests a round vessel.

L36 (Boat model fragment L.2029; B.8725): Handmade clay fragment of one end of a boat model: "It represents a concave end of a boat, as a result of pinching for creating the endpost and a protruding cutwater. The post projects upwards and is 1.6 cm wide and 1.2 cm thick. The thickness of the sides is about 5 mm. Its upper edge is broken." (Kahanov 2004: 167.)

L37 (Boat model fragment L.2029; B.9247): Fragment of an edge of a boat model showing the post and cutwater that were made by pinching the clay. The post is broken at its uppermost end. It is 1.2-1.6 mm wide and 0.9-1.1 cm thick.

L38 (Boat model fragment L.02-201; B.2736): Handmade clay fragment. One of the edges is worked smooth while the other is broken. Vertical post with a flat, undecorated top. The external edge of the post is hollow/ slightly concave.

Achziv tomb no 1 is an exceptional ashlar built chamber tomb that saw continuous use from the 10^th to the mid-6^th century B.C., divided into four recognizable stratigraphical phases. All four boat models belong to phase 3 (end of 9^th-7^th century B.C.). This layer included accumulated burials and burial gifts over several generations of continuous use, with older material piled up at the back of the tomb and its eastern corners with the arrival of new occupants. Burial gifts include large amounts of pottery, numerous scarabs, faience amulets, jewellery (silver pendants, gold/silver/bronze earrings, bronze/silver rings, bronze bracelets, bronze fibulae, bone pin), and a few iron arrowheads. In addition to the four terracotta boat models, there was a terracotta female facemask, and figurines of a horseman, a baboon, a donkey, and another horse or donkey. Associated with phase 3 were also some Cypriot imports, including a Cypriot krater (no. 9222) and a BoR jug (no. 9322).
