| Abstract: | In the Kvarner area and the Cres-Lošinj archipelago, Osor is the oldest and most significant island settlement, as well as the best-researched archaeologically. In addition to land-based archaeological surveys and research, ongoing since the late 19th century, the seabed of the entire island area has been systematically surveyed and studied. Particular attention has been given to the Osor seabed, due to the importance and value of the material culture originating from the settlement itself. This article presents all previous research conducted over the past 70 years, chronologically divided into two main periods: the first systematic research during the second half of the 20th century, and more recent systematic and protective research in the early decades of the 21st century. The results of these activities certainly complete the picture of the way and dynamics of life in this island centre throughout different historical periods, especially from the perspective of ancient seafaring, navigation, and Osor’s role in established transport and economic communications. |
