      I only posted this in news. Not sure why you commented twice and both were basically saying the same thing.

      Directly from the article

      “To their astonishment, it was a 4 to 5-meter-deep structure offering clues to a settlement almost identical to the one in Soline. They also dug out several Neolithic artifacts such as flint blades, stone axes, and fragments of wood on this site.”

      I’m not personally saying that one building is a city but it’s a start.

      They never mention the university at Bradford, but speak of the university of Zadar, so I’m not really sure why you linked that article that is related but not the same.

        A settlement isn’t even close to a city. A settlement isn’t even a village.

        Also, you need to read your own article. This is the very first paragraph:

        In ancient times, the Adriatic Sea was a major trade route for the Croatian population, which is likely why scientists have discovered various antiquities submerged in this sea. From Roman artifacts to a 2,200-year-old shipwreck and networks of sunken streams, the sea has revealed some fascinating discoveries, reported the University of Bradford. But this time, divers have stumbled upon something that left scientists flabbergasted.

        That links to the Bradford article I linked to.
