Archaeology in Albania 1991–1999

Abstract

Surveys of archaeological work in Albania in 1973-83 and 1984-90 appear in AR 1983-84 and AR 1991-92 respectively; the present article covers work done in the period 1991-99. As before, the chronological span is wide, covering prehistory, antiquity, late antiquity and the medieval period. In several instances the archaeological work described involved the close collaboration of archaeologists from Albanian and foreign institutions. This account draws upon preliminary reports of excavations published in Iliria, BCH and JRA, and in some instances on excavation reports deposited in the archive of the Archaeological Institute in Tirana. For the location of excavation sites, see the map (Fig. 1).
