A 'beautifully preserved' sunken landscape, complete with a network of rivers and estuaries, has been mapped in 3D surrounding a submerged 7,000-year-old city.
The city, known as Soline , was built on an artificial landmass by the ancient Hvar culture but began to slowly sink off the coast of what is now Croatia as sea levels rose with the melting glaciers of the last Ice Age, starting around 12,000 BC .
Researchers hope to use this undisturbed drowned geography to better assist them in strategizing their deeper hunt for more of the Hvar people's submerged sites and artifacts.
Soline site of Soline was discovered in 2021 off the coast of the Croatian island of Korula .
Radiocarbon analysis of preserved wood has indicated that the Soline settlement dates back to approximately 4,900 BC .
Artifacts made during the Neolithic era of the Hvar people that have been found thus far include 'cream' blades, stone axes and 'fragments of sacrifices'.
