Sažetak
Between 2006 and 2009, the archaeologists of the Croatian Conservation Institute came across two archaeological sites containing medieval Byzantine amphorae. The first site is located in the vicinity of Cape Stoba, island of Mljet, and could be dated to the late 10th or 11th century. The site contains the remains of a sunken merchant vessel with materials of eastern Mediterranean origin. Most of the finds belong to several types of medieval Byzantine amphorae and glassware produced in east Mediterranean. Another shipwreck is located in the vicinity of the islet of Merara in central Dalmatia and could be dated to the 12th or 13th century. Most of the finds belong to the medieval Byzantine type of amphorae which is characterized by a ribbed cylindrical body and thick handles that protrude over the rimless neck. No complete amphora has yet been found at Merara, nevertheless a similar amphora can be seen in the underwater archaeological collection of the Franciscan monastery on the island of Krapanj.
