“…Moreover, similar to other lagoonal systems, depositional and erosional processes, subsidence and sea‐level changes have strongly modified the landscape of these areas in the last millennia with tangible effects on the geography of the coasts (Chesworth, 2008: 426–427; Galloway & Hobday, 1983; Morhange et al, 2017; Summerfield, 1991: 313–341). Such rapid transformations induced significant consequences on the human settlement and, thus, also on the archaeological visibility of the areas (Giaime et al, 2019; Nunn, 2017: 145–156). In this perspective, the combined analysis of old and fresh archaeological data and other sources of information (e.g., remote sensing and historical cartography) can help reconstruct the evolution of recent landforms in such a dynamic environment.…”

Depositional and erosional processes, subsidence and sea-level changes have strongly modified the coastal landscape of northern Adriatic lagoons. Such rapid transformations have induced significant consequences on human settlements and, thus, on the archaeological visibility of the area, still largely unexplored. We present here six metal swords fortuitously retrieved by fishermen over the last decades in front of the barrier islands of Marano Lagoon (north-eastern Italy). Multi-analytical analyses carried out on the artefacts (X-ray radiography and computed micro-tomography, radiocarbon dating and typo-chronology) combined with the study of the coastal
