Abstract
The wreck is located in the Bay of Paragan near Bonifacio, southern Corsica and was discovered in 2015. It has been dated by Ligurian faïence to the end of the 17th-beginning of the 18th century. Since 2016, the wreck has been the object of an underwater excavation within the framework of the MoMArch international training school (A*Midex, Aix-Marseille University, CCJ, DRASSM). The wreck displays several “architectural fingerprints” that are characteristic of the practices of Mediterranean frame-first construction and which have been attested archaeologically since the Middle Ages. One objective of the excavation is to provide answers relating to the architectural principles and building processes of the ship. Another objective is to restore the shape of the hull and rigging with the aim of identifying the architectural type of the Paragan 1 ship in the technical context of coasters of the western Mediterranean basin.
