They also found stone anchors. So you could say it’s a shipwreck where nothing is left but the anchors.
If the anchors were gone too, I would agree with you—some piece of the original ship (not just the cargo) must remain to consider it a shipwreck.

My point is that there are other reasonable explanations for why that stuff was there and it seems odd to consider 0 of them or consider but not explain why they were invalidated by the experts.
