Abstract

The bottom of Zambratija Cove (Umag) is the location of
a submerged site from the Early Eneolithic period attributed
to the “Nakovana” culture. The site is found at a depth of
from 2.40 to 3.10 m. The archaeological data gathered to date
indicates that it is most likely a pile dwelling located in a
natural geological depression. It was separated from the open
sea by natural limestone ridges.
