:
This title explores the origins of two types of ancient ship connected with the protohistoric eastern Adriatic area: the 'Liburnian' and the Southern Adriatic 'lemb'. An extensive overview of written, iconographic and archaeological evidence questions the existing scholarly assumption that the liburna and lemb were closely related.

The shipwreck of Gnalić : a mirror to the Renaissance world /
:
Unlike official history, which takes long and impersonal strides through the past, 'The Shipwreck of Gnalic' describes individual human destinies that convey the story of the late Renaissance period throughout Europe and the Mediterranean as uncovered at the site of the shipwreck. Transiting the permanent route between Venice and Constantinople, the ship Gagliana grossa, formerly known as Lezza, Moceniga e Basadonna, symbolically connected two apparently opposing, yet tightly interwoven worlds. The stunning objects that spent four centuries at the bottom of the sea briefly made the Gnalic shipwreck famous in the 1960s and 1970s, but only in recent years has the scholarly community finally started collecting all the available information hidden in museum collections, at the shipwreck site, and in the archives.
