The Underwater Cultural and Historical Heritage of Hvar: Research, Sites And Condition
Marinko Petrić
Abstract
The seascape of Hvar comprises a relatively small area on the Adriatic sea map. However, it represents an area of particularly rich underwater heritage, due to its favourable maritime location, suitable bays, and especially thanks to the intensive diving activities (notably recreational divers) of the last 60 years. A large number of typologically and chronologically diverse sites (230 so far recorded) enables multiple and interesting statistical analyses, which are essential in further research and evaluation of that heritage. This work will in turn advance our understanding of the specific maritime characteristics of this area in the past.
