Contribution to a Better Understanding of Underwater Archaeology of Eastern Adriatic Region on the Example of the Travelogue "Viaggio in Dalmazia" by Alberto Fortis
Marin Buovac
Abstract
Travel research work of Alberto Fortis represents one of the most important sources for knowing historical, cultural, ethnological and other circumstances in the region of Eastern Adriatic coast and its hinterland in the second part of the 18th century. His contribution to describing and researching Roman antiques at the area of former Roman province Dalmatia seems especially significant at this place. “Fortisology” itself notably contributed to knowledge and interpretation of archaeological sites in a defined area, among which a special attention should be given to ancient shipwreck in the area of Hvar aquatorium (promontory Sućuraj), that will be further dealt with in this paper.
