The Globe Group participated in the project of local education of the Istrian County with the theme "Amphora Findings on the East Coast of Istria", so we part of this project decided to present as the Globe Project.
The research questions are: 1. How accurately can we map amphora sites? 2. How much time does it take to desalinate amphorae fragments in the school lab to be exposed later?
According to the data we received from the National Museum of Labin on land sites and geographic coordinates of the underwater site we have collected, we have mapped the map of localities of the amphorae site in the area of Labin.
In conversation with the curator of the National Museum we have confirmed the accuracy of our collected data, so our map can be used for the purpose of tourism promotion of our region, as agreed with Tourist community Labin–Rabac.
The desalination process lasted 40 weeks, which, according to accessible sources on the internet, is enough to complete the process and the fragments are dried and protected to be permanently exposed. Working on this project, we have gained a lot of new knowledge and skills and have responded to the research questions
