Under the supervision of Giulia Boetto, Irena Radiò Rossi, Sabrina Marlier and Zdenko Brusic, The late antiquity shipwreck of Pakostane (Croatia). The results of a Franco-Croatian research project, This article présents the results of a Franco-Croatian research programme involving the excavation and study of the Pakostane shipwreck (end of 4th to beginning of 5th century AD) from 2007 to 2008. The town of Pakostane is located in northern Dalmatia between the two urban centres of Zadar to the north and Sibenik to the south. Its port faces three small islets named, from north to south, Babuljas, Veli Skolj and Sveta Justina. The wreck is situated between the islets of Veli Skolj and Sveta Justina, at a depth of between 2.50m (south) to 2.75m (north). The article is composed of seven chapters written by 14 authors who have, for the most part, participated in on-site missions. The first chapter (I. Radié Rossi, Z. Brusié, M. Ilkié, M. Parica, M. Mestrov) begins with a géographie look at the territory of Pakostane and of its navigation space, then présents a historical summary of archaeological research undertaken along the littoral with the discovery of the harbour zone of Janice (south-east of Pakostane), of the wreck and of the structures hypothetical attributed to the sait pans in the small modem port. The second chapter (G. Boetto, S. Marlier and I. Radié Rossi) presents the excavation and study of the wreck. The site is characterised by a sector that is very rich in material that has been associated with the galley and Storage zone. The dunnage indicates the presence of a cargo now almost entirely missing (essentially African in origin). Among the most remarkable features of the wreck is the large number of repairs in lead applied to the planking, as well as mends to the frames, and this is also reflected in the great différences in the taxa of wood used for the construction of the hull. The following studies are concerned with typological and archeometrical analyses of the ceramic material (C. Huguet and CI. Capelli respectively) ; determiningthe species of wood of the preserved vestiges of the hull and of the cargo load wedges (F. Guibal, S. Greck and C. Cenzon-Salvayre) ; ana-lysis of the pollen content of the pitch used to protect the hull (V. Andrieu-Ponel). A more technical contribution about digital photogrammetry as used during the opérations of 2008 (V. Dumas) complétés the article.
