AdriaS Project

Archaeology of the Adriatic Shipbuilding and Seafaring

The aim of the project is ADRIAS to enhance systematic

interdisciplinary study and interpretation of the archaeological

and historical record of shipbuilding and seafaring

and the Eastern Adriatic. Its rich maritime history, seen

through the technological development of wooden shipbuilding

and seafaring, and the dynamics that affected

them over time, has not been systematically researched

until recently, due to the lack of appropriate resources and

The absence of a sound methodological basis.
