The Roman Republican wreck Ilovik–Paržine 1, island of Ilovik (Croatia): preliminary report
Résumé
Discovered in 2016 in the bay of Paržine, Ilovik Island (Croatia), the wreck Ilovik-Paržine 1 has been systematically excavated by a joint Croatian and French team from 2018 to 2021. It was a mortise-and-tenon built sailing ship of about 20-22 m in length, transporting a cargo of Adriatic Greco-Italic amphoras containing wine and timbers. Its last voyage took place between to the 2 nd or 3 rd quarter of the 2 nd century BC. Thanks to the ballast, the rear third of the ship was better preserved than the bow, part of which was found about 20 m to the east. The ship has a typical Hellenistic hull design (a cross-section with a wine-glass profile), and the large mortise on the easternmost end of the keel could be related to a specific ship shape characterized by nearly vertical stem.
