ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of a multidisciplinary investigation of the wreck of a riverine flat-bottom sewn barge dated to the fifth century AD. The wreck was recovered west of the city of Comacchio (Ferrara, North Italy), near the sixth century church Santa Maria in Padovetere (SMP). It was found in the silty sediments filling a paleo channel of the Po River and is one of the very few well-preserved inland watercrafts from the Roman period known in southern Europe. Thanks to the high level of conservation of the organic matter, archaeobotanical analyses of the bilge sediments, rope fragments, caulking, and wood elements and chemical analyses of the pitch have revealed the local provenance of the barge’s materials, the craft’s possible use, and the environment in which it sailed. A geomorphological study of the area where the wreck was found led to a reconstruction of the flooding event that could be responsible for the barge’s abandonment.

帕多维泰雷（意大利费拉拉）圣玛丽亚的公元五世纪河流驳船：环境和造船技术的多学科方法

摘要 本文介绍了对公元 5 世纪的河流平底缝合驳船残骸进行多学科调查的结果。沉船在科马基奥市（意大利北部费拉拉）以西，靠近帕多维泰雷 (SMP) 的 6 世纪圣玛丽亚教堂。它是在填充波河古河道的粉质沉积物中发现的，是欧洲南部已知的极少数保存完好的罗马时期内陆船只之一。由于对有机物质的高度保护，对舱底沉积物、绳索碎片、嵌缝和木材元素的考古植物分析以及沥青的化学分析揭示了驳船材料的当地来源、工艺的可能用途以及它航行的环境。
