The discovery of these artefacts, chronicled in a 30-second video captured by Mariusz, marks a significant milestone in the ongoing exploration of Croatia&#8217;s underwater heritage.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While some findings, like ancient pottery and wooden remnants, are common in maritime archaeology, each discovery enriches our understanding of ancient maritime trade routes and seafaring civilisations.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside ancient amphorae and port structures, Croatia\u2019s seabed harbours unexpected surprises, including remnants of ancient roads submerged beneath the currents. Such discoveries not only captivate the imagination but also offer invaluable insights into the daily lives and customs of our ancestors.<\/p>\n<p>Mariusz&#8217;s exploration beneath the waters surrounding Vis has yielded a series of remarkable discoveries over recent years. From the unearthing of a small clay vial amidst broken amphorae to the recovery of an ancient Greek jug near the islet of Krava, each find adds a new chapter to Croatia&#8217;s maritime history.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>You can read more about the discoveries <a href=\"https:\/\/seamagination.com\/en\/we-recovered-ancient-treasures-vis-croatia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">here<\/span><\/a>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Check out the video below.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-97RstYMFNs?si=BiiZ0KlTMAtPr4Ev\" width=\"854\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In late September 2023, Mariusz Milka, a specialist in Digital Underwater Heritage Conservation, alongside Tea Katunari\u0107, an Underwater Archaeologist from&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":142041,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[3689,1945],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.croatiaweek.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142007"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.croatiaweek.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.croatiaweek.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.croatiaweek.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.croatiaweek.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142007"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.croatiaweek.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142007\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":142042,"href":"https:\/\/www.croatiaweek.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142007\/revisions\/142042"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.croatiaweek.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.croatiaweek.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142007"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.croatiaweek.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142007"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.croatiaweek.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142007"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
