Between 2007 and 2012 the Department for Underwater Archaeology of
the Croatian Conservation Institute from Zagreb and the Department
of Humanistic Studies of the Ca' Foscari University of Venice
collaborated in the recording, underwater excavation and analysis
of the unusually well-preserved wreck of a 16th century Venetian
merchantman in the Svetti Pavao shallow off the southern shore of
the island of Mljet, Croatia. The shipwreck preserved many personal
possessions of the crew as well as a number of bronze artillery
pieces and the remains of a cargo of luxury and richly decorated
ceramic material from Iznik and other oriental workshops. Although
the excavation is not complete, this volume presents the results of
the project so far. The methodological and technical aspects of the
underwater investigation of the site, mainly by photogrammetry, are
described; the historical and archaeological context of navigation
in the late Medieval period in the eastern Mediterranean discussed;
and the recovered artefacts described and catalogued in detail,
together with the remains of the ship and its equipment that,
because of depth and of problems of conservation, have been left in
situ. The conservation and restoration of the finds are described
in an appendix.
21 papers delivered at a conference in Madrid in 2006 which look at
various aspects of the archaeology of early medieval monasticism.

Fifteen papers from a conference held in Madrid in 2005 on the
subject of Gaul and Spain from the 5th to 7th century AD, looking
especially at evidence for the migration and influence of various
cultural groups across Europe. The contributors examine the
problems within this subject, especially interpreting the material
culture evidence, and go on to look in more detail at funerary
assemblages in both Gaul and Spain for evidence of the presence and
influence of other cultures at the time of the disintegration of
the Roman Empire. Text in Spanish, French and German.
