Budvanski Zaliv 4 Wreck

Date: 4th century BCE

Era: Hellenistic

Location: Montenegro Coast

Cargo: Corinthian B amphoras
Montenegro 2013-14 Field Season
The Budvanski Zaliv 4 (MN12-AA) consists of a large, well integrated and intact wreck site formed by a large cargo of amphoras. The entire site forms a mounded formation. Many of the amphoras on the surface are impacted by net drags (some gear trapped on site) that have resulted in a large number of sherds scattered throughout the site. Most of the amphoras appear to be of the Corinthian B type, which date to the 4th century BCE, yet there is also a more elongated type noted amidst the amphora pile. There is at least one layer of amphoras that appears to be completely buried in the soft sediment surrounding the site. These amphoras look to remain in rows.
