Sažetak
Although officially registered in 1967, the Gnalic site was discovered in the early 1960s and in the interim much of the material found its way into private collections in Belgium. The first three rescue campaigns were organized in 1967 and 1968, while the next two followed in 1972 and 1973. A short excavation campaign took place in 1996 in order to renew the excavation and initiate protective measures of the wreck site. Due to administrative complications the attempt remained without success. Forty five years after the first campaign, in the summer of 2012, a joint team from the University of Zadar and Texas A&M University carried out a testing excavation season on the Gnalic shipwreck site, identified as the large merchantman Gagliana grossa, lost in 1583 on its way from Venice to Constantinople. Thanks to the remarkable results of the archaeological and historical research, the support of the local government and the involvement of many Croatian and foreign institutions, the project entitled “The Shipwreck of Gnalic – Mirror of Renaissance Europe” was launched, encompassing the continuation of research into the shipwreck itself and its natural, cultural and historical context ; the improvement of the condition of finds removed during earlier research and the formation of an education/presentation/research centre.
