However, 15 years ago, that was not possible and feasible. Even though the possibilities of 3D methodology were started to be explored already almost 50 years ago, this was in practice unavailable, primarily because of the enormous time of art needed for preparing stereo photogrammetric results. Moreover, also because of the very expensive equipment, which was not available for the vast majority of underwater archaeologists. That had changed when low-cost, digital, compact cameras with instant housings came on the market. The first experimental studies on the Eastern Adriatic sea in 2001, on a Roman shipwreck near the Silba Island in the Adriatic Sea, were performed.
