Date: First Century BCE
Era: Roman Republic
Location: Montenegro Coast
Cargo: tiles
Located approximately one km from shore in the open seafloor is a large wreck site (MN09-AD) comprised of a tile shipment. Both teguli and imbrices are present. Based on the initial observation only, the number of tiles on the surface is c. 500-750. Many of the tiles remain in a stacked position, shifted as the wreck settled and decayed, and are intact. At least three long rows of tiles are noted running along the site’s long axis. A large fishing net has snagged in the wreck and a net is deposited here. Two artifacts were raised for analysis: a complete pan tile (MN09-0001) and a cover tile (MN09-0002).
