The number of shipwrecks found in the [[Sea of Istroya]] provides valuable evidence of the development of trade in the ancient world. Only two shipwrecks were found that dated from the 8th century BC. However, archaeologists have found forty-six shipwrecks dated from the 4th century BC, which would appear to indicate that there occurred a very large increase in the volume of trade between these centuries. Considering that the average ship tonnage also increased in the same period, the total volume of trade increased probably by a factor of 30. | The number of shipwrecks found in the [[Sea of Istroya]] provides valuable evidence of the development of trade in the ancient world.
