The Croatia Coastal Survey: 2012-2014 field seasons

Abstract

In 2012 a joint project survey to document and study submerged cultural heritage began along the southern Croatian coast. The survey, part of the Illyrian Coastal Exploration Program, produced wreck‐sites from a wide time range that include the Roman, Byzantine and Post Medieval eras. Recording and artefact sampling of the sites was conducted during field operations, along with fabric analysis of amphoras and post conservation analyses of ceramics. This paper will provide a description of the sites and their artefacts, and places several of them in historical context.
