Sažetak
Based on the report submitted by the Rostrum Underwater Activities Association from Split, in January 2021, a fully preserved ancient shipwreck with a cargo of amphorae was found at Slatine on the island of Čiovo. Archaeological investigations have determined that this is a shipwreck with a cargo of late antique North African amphorae of various typologies, with the majority belonging to the types Africana II and Africana III. Additionally, one example of an amphora of the type Agora M274 has been found. In total, more than 350 amphorae are visible, with an even greater number lying beneath layers of mud and sand. The shipwreck can most likely be dated to the first half of the 4th century, a period when trade with North Africa was highly common, as evidenced by numerous documented shipwrecks in the Adriatic region from that era.
