AdriaS - Archaeology of Adriatic Shipbuilding and Seafaring Project
Description
The aim of the project is to do the interdisciplinary study and interpretation of archaeological and historical record of shipbuilding and seafaring in EA. The main objectives of the AdriaS project are to raise the awareness of the Croatian scientific and broader community on the importance of systematic study to the historical development of shipbuilding and seafaring technologies, to establish solid scientific fundamentals for future systematic interdisciplinary research, and to assure the continuation of the development of the scientific discipline of nautical archaeology.
The AdriaS project aims to define and develop the discipline of nautical archaeology in Croatia, and raise it to the level achieved in the most prominent European states. Another objective of the project is to develop the dynamic international network of experts and young researchers that will ensure the sustainability of the project’s achievements after the completion of the project. Another idea is to create a platform for the interdisciplinary collaboration of humanities, natural and technical sciences in documenting, assessing and interpreting the overall context of shipbuilding and seafaring in the past.
Through the active involvement of experts specialized in the field of underwater robotics and 3D modelling, the project will emphasize the importance of introducing these new components in the methodology of the nautical archaeology research.
Through merging with and exploiting the results of ongoing cultural heritage projects in Croatia, the AdriaS project aims to introduce a scientific component into the protection and preservation process of maritime and nautical cultural heritage.
In regard to public outreach, the AdriaS project aims at raising the general public’s awareness of the great value of maritime heritage, the interdisciplinary research directed toward the reconstruction of the history of technological development of Adriatic shipbuilding and seafaring, and the need for protection, research and preservation of shipwreck sites.

Is there a better place to record timbers then being surrounded by scaled traditional boats and ships of the Adriatic? ⚓️⛵️ Before recording the timbers from 16th century Gagliana Grossa, Mauro Bondioli explained the assembly sequence to the team members. After obtaining the data from the site, Mauro will make a comparative study with historical sources. Recording is done by Kotaro Yamafune and Katarina Batur, with help of Miguel Angel Gomez Quintana and Anamarija Belošić.

Last week we were testing Artec 3D Eva on lead white ingots from Gnalić shipwreck. We will extract the shape of ingot molds before sampling for lead isotope analyses. Many thanks to Geospatial Analysis Laboratory for collaboration in this project. :) Photo credits: Nikolina Ćuk

In October 2018 we excavated the middle ship area of sunken Gagliana/Gagiana Grossa (Gnalić Shipwreck). We were lucky to have excellent visibility on the last day of the recording! Here are some photos showing the progress we made in 2018 excavations. :) The site is at 26-30 meters, but that day, we could see it from 11 meters while descending. Photo credits: Kotaro Yamafune
Senzacionalno otkriće ronilaca u podmorju Paga nakon kojeg je nastala euforija i opće oduševljenje
Exciting news! Our collaborator Vedran Dorusic discovered 1st-century Roman shipwreck with the cargo of Lamboglia II amphorae close to Šimuni, the island of Pag. Just to remind you - Vedran was the one who found a Hellenistic period shipwreck near Žirje island, which is one of the rare examples of ships from this period in the Adriatic sea. 😁 Congrats on second amazing discovery! https://zadarski.slobodnadalmacija.hr/zadar-plus/clanak/id/561716/senzacionalno-otkrice-ronilaca-u-podmorju-paga-nakon-kojeg-je-nastala-euforija-i-opce-odusevljenje
