Croatian archaeologists have announced that they had discovered a 3,500-year-old sunken town and a port in the Adriatic Sea near Zadar, a southern coastal city.
“We found the remains of a large
settlement and a port in the sea between the islands of Ricula and
Galesnjak in the Pasman Channel last year. After radiocarbon analysis
finished this month, we could say that the remains were probably built
around 1500 BC,” Mato Ilkic, head of the archaeological research team at
Zadar University, told Xinhua.
They unearthed various findings during
two research explorations in a small part of the settlement, covering a
total area of nearly two hectares, Ilkic said.
The most valuable findings were the very rare wood objects from 3,500 years ago, he said.
