AdriaS Project

The aim of the AdriaS project is to enhance systematic
interdisciplinary study and interpretation of the archaeological
and historical record of shipbuilding and seafaring
in 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. The aim of the project is ADRIAS to enhance systematic
