Izvađene su četiri amfore, koje će se nakon postupka desalinizacije prezentirati stanovnicima Kaštela u jednom od kaštelanskih izložbenih prostora (dvorac Vitturi, Kaštel Lukšić, i izložbeni prostor Podvorje, Kaštel Sućurac). Inače, dva najveća nalazišta ovakvih amfora su u Kaštel Sućurcu i na području splitskog Spinuta, gdje će idućih dana početi nova istraživanja, a kako nam je kazala voditeljica istraživačkog tima mr. se! Irena Radić-Rossi, amfore su se tijekom I., II. i III. stoljeća koristile za prijevoz maslinova ulja iz rimske provincije Hispanije. U njih je, kako su istaknuli podvodni istražitelji, moglo stati oko 75 litara ulja, a teške su između 30 i 35 kg. Nakon senzacionalnog otkrića broda iz antičkog doba i vađenja amfora, ovogodišnje istraživanje, koje financiraju Ministarstvo kulture RH i Grad Kaštela, privodi se kraju, a preostali nalazi, kako je potvrdila voditeljica Radić-Rossi, bit će zaštićeni na morskome dnu. |
![]() | Archaeological Site Photography: 6 Sumerian/Akkadian Cities 1.Nineveh Nineveh (Akkadian: Ninua; Aramaic: ܢܝܢܘܐ; Hebrew: נינוה, Nīnewē; Arabic: نينوى, Naīnuwa), an "exceeding great city", as it is called in the Book of Jonah, lay on the eastern bank of the Tigris in ancient Akkadia across the river from the modern-day major city of Mosul, Iraq. 2.Kish Kish (KIŠKI' cuneiform:?; Sumerian:kiš; Akkadian:?)is modern Tell al-Uhaymir, (Babil Governorate, Iraq), and was an ancient city of Sumer. Kish is located some 12 km east of Babylon, and 80 km south of Baghdad. 3.Nippur Nippur (URUEN.LIL ₗ⇸; Sumerian: Nibru; Akkadian: Nibbur), from the Sumerian for 'lord wind' (Enlil), is modern ? in Afak Al Qadisyah Governorate, Iraq. Nippur was one of the most ancient (some historians date it back to 5262 BCE) of all the Sumerian cities. It was the special seat of the worship of the Sumerian god, Enlil, ruler of the cosmos subject to Anu alone. 4.Ur Ur (URU? ; Sumerian:urim; Akkadian:?) is modern Tell el-Mukayyar, Iraq, and was a city in ancient Sumer. Once a coastal city near the mouth of the then Euphrates river on the Persian Gulf, Ur is now well inland. Currently, Ur is south of the Euphrates on its right bank, 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) from Nasiriyah, Iraq and close to the site of ancient Eridu. The site is marked by the ruins of a ziggurat, still largely intact, and by settlement mounds. The ziggurat of Ur was a temple of Nanna, the moon deity in Sumerian mythology, and has two stages constructed from brick: in the lower stage the bricks are joined together with bitumen, in the upper stage they are joined with mortar. The temple was built in 2100 B.C. during the reign of Ur-Nammu. The temple stands 70 feet (21 m) high. 5.Nimrud: Nimrud is an ancient Assyrian city located south of Nineveh on the river Tigris. The city covered an area of around 16 square miles (41 km2). Ruins of the city are found in modern day Iraq, some 30 kilometres (19 mi) southeast of Mosul. In ancient times the city was called Kalhu. The Arabs called the city Nimrud after Nimrod, a legendary hunting hero. 6.Uruk: Uruk (URUUNUG ⌷—, Sumerian: unug; Akkadian: uruk), from the Akkadian rendering of the Sumerian toponym 'unug', is modern Warka (Arabic: وركاء), Iraq. Uruk was an ancient city of Sumer and later Babylonia, situated east of the present bed of the Euphrates river, on the ancient Nil canal, some 30 km east of As-Samawah, Al-Muthannā, Iraq. The modern name Iraq is thought to be derived from the name Uruk. At its height c 2900 BCE, Uruk probably had 50,00080,000 residents living in 6 km2 of walled area; the largest city in the world at its time. Peace |

The Tiermes archaeological site, at Montejo de Tiermes, Soria (Autonomous Community of Castilla y León, Spain), stands out among the diversity of archaeological remains in the Iberian Peninsula. In the mid 1930s, Blas Taracena, the Spanish archaeologist, organised systematic digs at the site and called Tiermes "the Spanish Pompeii". Leaving aside such trite clichés, it is true that the remains of the old Celtiberian fortified hilltop village and the Roman city are one of the most interesting Spanish archaeological sites for the researcher and the visitor. |
