In 2023, a submerged stone road discovered off the coast of Korčula was identified as a product of the Hvar culture. It is estimated to be 7,000 years old, and was uncovered alongside other artifacts such as stone axes and ornamented pottery. It is assumed the road made up a stoneway to a nearby artificial island, now also submerged, which was previously discovered in 2021.[1][2]
