Trial excavation of the third Roman ship at Trstenik in Kaštel Sućurac

Abstract

In 2006, along the southwestern end of the linear structure, Neven Lete discovered the remains of a ship filled with large stones, and scuttled to strengthen the operational quay. During research in 2020, Neven Lete and Vedran Dorušić discovered the remains of two more ships. Paper presents preliminary results of archaeological research conducted on third ship. Ten frames of the ship can be noticed on the northern side, while six can be discerned on the southern side, the first three of which are probably parts of the northern frames. Simultaneously with the excavation in the area of ship Trstenik 3, the structure of the operational quay in the north direction continued to be monitored.
