9500 year old straw and clay bricks surviving in saltwater.

The only way clay bricks would stay intact over time in water is if they were completely vitrified by kiln-firing to extremely high temperatures, about 1200-1400 F, which may or may not have been achievable in those times -- and even if it were, the straw would certainly have been destroyed in the process.
