In the Caska Bay on the Island of Pag, near Novalja, an ancient sewn ship over 2,000 years old was found. This is the result of research done by the city of Novalja and the Zadar University, in cooperation with the French institute for scientific research (CNRS-CCJ University in Marseille) and numerous other foreign associates.
The lower part of the ship was found, body panels, ship skeleton and stitches which the panels were connected with. Work on excavating the ship will last for around two years.
Archaeologists have found a ancient sewn ship more than 2000 years old in Pag's Caska Bay, reports ezadar.hr.
The research, which was organized by the City of Novalja in cooperation with the Zadar University in cooperation with the French national institute for scientific research, was led by professor Zdenko Brusic from the Zadar University...
At the bottom of the bay there is the sunken Roman town named "Kissa" (Cissa), whose remains are being researched, and the discovery of the sewn ancient ship was the result of the joint work of around 20 Croatian and French archaeologists, added the professor.

Oh, I forgot, the “culture: of Africa is becoming known ... .
whoops, and I forgot to post this (was going to make this link message #2):
