Underwater research near Pašman island 🇭🇷 reveals new Neolithic site (ca. 4700 BC) with dry-stone structures and wooden piles ~5 m below sea level—evidence of Holocene shoreline shifts and early Adriatic settlement. The second submerged Neolithic site in Dalmatia after Soline on Korčula. #archaeology

My favourite pot: Minonian jar with an octopus 🐙 #archaeology
This jar stands at an impressive height of 75 cm. The painted decoration depicts an octopus, swimming in an abstract seascape. The jar comes from the Minoan palace at Knossos, on the island of Crete, and was created in the 15th century BCE.
