The Zambratija prehistoric swen boat: recovery and new observations concerning the boat's structure

PRAPOVIJESNI ŠIVANI BROD ZAMBR ATIJA -PODIZANJE IZ PODMORJA I NOVA ZAPAŽANJA O BRODSKOJ KONSTRUKCIJI

Résumé

A team of Croatian and French archaeologists, restorers, technicians, and divers gathered around the Archaeological Museum of Istria, the Culture and Media Ministry of the Republic of Croatia, and the Centre Camille Jullian (CNRS, Aix Marseille Université), raised the remains of the Zambratija Late Bronze Age / Early Iron Age sewn boat from the seabed of Zambratija cove in June and July of 2023. The shipwreck was comprehensively investigated in 2013 with the results presented at many exhibitions, accompanied by a catalogue, and in a specialist monograph presenting the data known at the time of publication.The recovery of the boat provided a unique opportunity to complete the analysis of this unique find. New data concerning the building methods, repairs, and the waterproofing system of the hull have been obtained as a result of the dismantling of the boat and the meticulous documentation and analysis of each timber. The entirety of the surviving structure was documented, photographed, and scanned with a portable 3D scanning device. This paper discusses the procedures used, i.e., the methods employed, to raise the find from the seabed, to document it underwater and on land, and the newly obtained data, notwithstanding the still ongoing analysis and 3D reconstruction.

Tijekom lipnja i srpnja 2023. hrvatsko-francuski tim arheologa, restauratora, tehničara i ronilaca, okupljen oko Arheološkog muzeja Istre, Ministarstva kulture i medija RH i Centra Camille Jullian (CNRS, Sveučilište Aix Marseille), iz podmorja uvale Zambratija podigao je ostatke istoimenog prapovijesnog šivanog broda. Brodska konstrukcija je cjelovito istražena 2013. godine, a prezentirana je kroz brojne izložbe s pratećim katalogom te stručno-znanstvenom monografijom u kojoj su izneseni svi dotad poznati podaci o plovilu. Demontiranje i podizanje plovila pružili su izvanrednu priliku zadovršetak analize ovog unikatnog nalaza. Novi podaci o načinu izgradnje, popravcima te brtvljenju trupa dobiveni su zahvaljujući rastavljanju brodske konstrukcije te pažljivom dokumentiranju i analizi svakog pojedinog elementa. Cjelovita brodska konstrukcija je dokumentirana, fotografirana i skenirana uz pomoć prijenosnog 3D skenera. Cilj ovog članka je prikaz postupka odnosno metodologije primijenjene za podizanje nalaza iz podmorja, ali i uvid u nove podatke, iako su analize i 3D rekonstrukcija još u tijeku.
