Galaty, Assistant Professor of Anthropolgy, is co-primary investigator for the Mallakastra Regional Archaeological Project in Apollonia, Albania. He is responsibe for organizing field operations for the intensive surface survey of the Apollonia necropolis and surrounding area. In its April 20 issue, National Geographic highlighted the project, funded in part by the National Geographic Society. The U.S.-Albanian team has found late sixth century B.C. Greek and early third century B.C. Roman ruins, as expected, along with a few things they did not expect. A few thousand things. We spent the rest of the day helping out, carrying tables and such. We hiked up to the village's reservoir and took a long afternoon siesta. The evening we whiled away, reading and talking and playing with the neighborhood kids.

This chapel, however, is only one of a group of Christian spaces that littered the amphitheater galleries, including a second chapel with frescos, an ossuary and a baptistery. The entire Roman structure, including both galleries and arena, was also used as a necropolis. The amphitheater thus represented a whole network of Christian cult sites, interconnected by the decaying galleries of the Roman building and peppered with the graves of Christian dead who desired proximity to the saint or saints memorialized here. The Durres amphitheater was excavated in a vigorous, if unscientific fashion in the 1960’s by Vangiel To§i, and the later interventions in both the chapel and its surroundings were either never recorded, or incompletely published. Thus, the date of the chapel and its mosaics remains unknown, the other Christian features have gone largely unrecorded and even the date of the amphitheater itself remains a mystery. However, unlike so many Roman amphitheaters, the Durres amphitheater was never restored, its Christian monuments never removed and the majority of its galleries and its arena never completely excavated. Thus, Durres represents a unique opportunity to understand the Christianization of amphitheaters and their appropriation as loci of Christian memory.

25. Culture Without Context: Issue 10, How The Goddess Lost Her Head This was Hasan Ceka, a Viennatrained archaeologist who in the post-war period was to become more or less the founder of modern albanian archaeology. http://www.mcdonald.cam.ac.uk/IARC/cwoc/issue10/butrint.htm

Issue 10, Spring 2002 How the Goddess lost her head: the myth and reality of the looting of Butrint Institute of World Archaeology University of East Anglia Norwich, UK A recurrent theme of popular folklore concerning foreign archaeological missions working in the Mediterranean is the illegal removal of finds. Stories of this kind range from the true exploits of larger-than-life characters such as Lord Elgin and his assistants in Greece (St Clair 1998) and Giovanni Belzoni in Egypt (Trigger 1989), through to the activities of well-constituted scientific missions of the 1920s and 30s. In many cases the archaeologists concerned have not helped themselves in this matter. Sir Leonard Woolley, for example, filled his books with a series of stories of how he managed to hoodwink the Italian and Turkish authorities and make off with choice pieces (Woolley 1954; 1962). The end of colonialism and the politicization of the past have reinforced this idea in the modern era. Many of the archaeologists of the past are seen as opposing in some fashion the establishment of local national identities; thus, for example, Elgin is demonized in Greece. In the mind of the general public of those countries actually involved in acquisition this concept has also taken root. Witness the activities of Indiana Jones in securing antiquities for his clients. Obviously each case must be taken on its own merits. Here I intend to examine the Butrint sculptures from Albania. This is an instance where the myth has obscured the unpleasant reality, and as a consequence has deflected attention from the present sad situation of theft from museums and archaeological sites.

Sustainable Economic Development Agency Agjensia per Zhvillim Ekonomik te Qendrueshem ARCHAEOLOGY By Prof. MUZAFER KORKUTI The Illyrians History: Written sources from ancient authors have it that western Balkan regions since ancient times were inhabited by the Illyrians, one of the largest people of the peninsula. Such interpretation of sources can also be backed up by archaeological, linguistic and anthropologic data, which might as well add to the conclusion that the Illyrians were a very ancient and autochthonous population that was formed in a very long historic and cultural process during both the bronze and iron ages (the second millennium BC). Sources of Illyrian tribes may be found in the earliest works of the Hellenic literature in both Homer and Hesiod’s poems. The Greek writers' interest about Illyria and Illyrians grew soon after the first Hellenic colonies settled in the eastern Adriatic coast such as Dyrrachium, Apollonia and Orichon during the 7th to 6th centuries BC. The close links that these cities kept with the metropolis and the continuous visits by both Greek travellers and merchants in order to become acquainted and make deals in both rich minerals and agricultural and dairy products of Illyria, helped the Greek world acquire full and exact knowledge of Illyrians, and such firm data be may easily found across the well-known works of the historians of the ancient world, such as Herodotus and, particularly, Thucydides.

The story was based on an interview with the Director of the Albanian Archaeology Centre, Mr. Namik Rodinaku. According to Mr. Rodinaku, the looting began on 10 March with a raid on the site's museum, located in a restored Venetian castle on the acropolis at Butrinti. Glass cases containing coins, statuettes, and pottery were broken into, and a famous antique theatre mosaic depicting a woman among flowers and animals was also damaged. Unexploded ordinance is also believed to be still in the park, and will need to be removed before visitors are permitted to return. Representatives of UNESCO and ICOMOS met with the Ambassador and Permanent Delegate to UNESCO from Albania on 16 April 1997 for an update of conditions at the site, and to plan a rapid assessment mission to Butrinti. The mission will provide a first-hand report of conditions and assess the need for possible emergency support from the World Heritage Fund. - ** Nordic Council of Ministers Announces World Heritage Seminar in Iceland From: Director, Nordic World Heritage Office Date: 15 April 1997 Based on the mandate from the Nordic Council of Ministers to the Working Group for Nature and Outdoor Recreation, Norway took the initiative for an interdisciplinary Nordic project to consider new Nordic areas for nomination to the World Heritage List. Each country has been represented in the project by two representatives, one from their cultural heritage and one from their natural heritage authorities respectively. The project report was presented by the Council of Ministers to arrange a Nordic follow-up seminar in close cooperation with the State Party of Iceland. Iceland ratified the Convention in 1996 and accepted with enthusiasm to host the seminar, which will be held from 11 to 13 August 1997. The Nordic State Parties are of course free to choose in what ways they would like to follow up the suggestions from the project group. The target group for the seminar consists of the State Parties' authorities responsible for the World Heritage Convention. It will be important for the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, ICOMOS and IUCN to pass on information on experiences from nomination processes and management and monitoring of World Heritage sites in general. It is also important for the Nordic countries to discuss how their possible nominations will fit within UNESCO's Global Strategy and to share experiences in managing the Nordic sites on the World Heritage List. An assessment of further Nordic follow-up of the suggestions and cooperation concerning the World Heritage Convention will be an important part of the seminar. A seminar report will be available for all State Parties and other interested countries or organizations. - Date: Thu, 17 Apr 1997 11:49:56 +1000 From: David John Haigh ** Great Barrier Reef legal case proceeds through Australian Courts In Australia the court case about the controversial Port Hinchinbrook tourist resort and marina complex at Oyster Point on the Hinchinbrook Channel in Far North Queensland is continuing to progress through the Federal Court of Australia. The Commonwealth of Australia and the developer, Cardwell Properties applied to the Court for an order that Friends of Hinchinbrook Incorporated, an NGO, lodge a bond for their costs of the appeal to the Full Federal Court of Australia. On Monday, 14th April 1997, Mr Justice Davies rejected the Application. Judge Davies found that the case was of substantial public interest. The judgment is an important precedent in Australian case law to protect the environment. An NGO being required to lodge a large monetary bond for cost could severely limit the use of the Australian courts to ensure protection of World Heritage and the en vironment. The full appeal will be heard in Sydney before the Full Federal Court of Australia on the 27th and 28th May 1997.' - ** Canadian Rocky Mountains World Heritage site Bow Valley Report available Banff National Park, part of the Canadian Rocky Mountains World Heritage site, has been the subject of a recent planning study, examining threats to the ecological integrity and natural beauty of the park from the rapid growth in tourism and infrastructur e construction. Bow Valley, in the heart of Banff National Park, has been particularly at risk. In March 1994, the Minister of Canadian Heritage launched the "Banff-Bow Valley Study" to assess the "cumulative environmental effects of development and use in the entire Bow River watershed within the Park." In a move described as "unprecedented in the history of national parks," the Bow Valley Task Force established a Round Table, to bring public participation into the decision making process for the Valley. The World Heritage Committee at its last session requested that the report be distributed widely. The report of the Task Force has now been published to the Web in PDF format at the following location: www.worldweb.com/parkscanada-banff/whatsnew.html - For the latest information, consult the UNESCO World Heritage Centre WWW pages at http://www.unesco.org/whc/welcome.htm.

Relocating The Caves Of Luigi Cardini In June 2000, a team of archaeologists from the Institute of World archaeology and the albanian Institute of archaeology began a field survey in southern Albania, with the aim of relocating a number of prehistoric caves and surface sites that were first explored in the 1930s by Luigi Cardini. http://www.shef.ac.uk/~capra/3/cardini.html

The Lost Caves of Luigi Cardini: Explorations in Albania 1930-2001 Capra available at - http://www.shef.ac.uk/~capra/3/cardini.html Introduction Istituto Italiano di Paleontologia Umana, in Rome in 1999 (Francis, 2000), the majority of Cardini's research in Albania had been long forgotten. The Italian Archaeological Mission to Albania The origins of the Italian Archaeological Mission to Albania were rooted in the political crisis that existed in the region immediately prior to the First World War. At this time, various powers with an interest in the post-Ottoman Balkans were vying for control over the newly-defined Albanian territory. Italy's main political concern was the Albanian port of Vlora, which it perceived as the keystone to control over the Adriatic. Although Albania's borders were later determined by the Ambassadors' Conferences of 1921 (Vickers, 1995:100) instability reigned and in the geopolitical contest that ensued between Greece, Yugoslavia and Italy, cultural activities, particularly archaeology, were viewed as a way of promoting influence within the country (Gilkes and Miraj, 2000: 111).

Search Archaeology Butrint: City of Mosaics The World Heritage site of Butrint, located in southwest Albania on the Mediterranean Sea, is a unique blend of Greek and Roman and Byzantine and Venetian architecture, a result of its long and checkered history. The site was first occupied during the Bronze Age, about 800 BC. A large triangular fort was built in the 6th century BC, and by the 4th century BC, Butrint had become a substantial settlement, its acropolis perched 42 meters above its lower city holding two temples, one a sanctuary dedicated to Asclepius, legendary Greek physician and son of the god Apollo and Coronis. A Greek ampitheatre seating 5000 was added in the 3rd century BC. In 44 BC, at the end of the conflict between Pompey and Caesar, Caesar declared Butrint a colony, and it remained a Roman port through the 6th century AD. A large edifice known as the Triconch Palace was first built during the 4th century AD. During the 5th century AD, the emperor Justinian built a large cathedral and a baptistry with exquisite mosaic flooring at the site. But by 650, the population had largely abandoned the townsite.

(Courtesy the Hebrew University of Jerusalem) [LARGER IMAGE] Colorful mosaic pavements and the fifth- or sixth-century A.D. synagogue that housed them were unearthed in the Albanian coastal town of Saranda, opposite the Greek island of Corfu. It is the first time such remains have been found from this region and time period. Albanian archaeologists first discovered remnants of a house of worship 20 years ago during an initial excavation of the site, when Communist prohibition of religion made a more thorough survey difficult. Because the structure had undergone multiple uses throughout the centuriesmost recently as a Christian churchthe synagogue remained well hidden for years. When further excavations uncovered evidence of the structure's Jewish past, the Archaeology Institute of the Albanian Academy of Sciences teamed up in 2003 with archaeologists from the Hebrew University Institute of Archaeology for a joint excavation. The first mosaic pavement depicts items associated with Jewish holidays: a menorah, a citron tree, and a ram's horn. The other, located in the basilica of the synagogue, includes trees, animals, and the facade of a structure that may be a Torah shrine. Future excavations will venture beneath adjacent streets and buildings, where parts of the synagogue remain.

Beginning with Stefan Nemanja, founder of the Nemanja dynasty, which ruled Serbia from the third quarter of the twelfth century to the late fourteenth century, the Christian (Serbian Orthodox) church grew in authority and prosperity along with the evolving Serbian state, as rulers and other nobles built scores of monasteries and churches in the towns, valleys, and mountains of southern Serbia and Kosovo.

Bibliography Courtesy of The Butrint Foundation Threats to the Survival of the Archaeological Site of Butrint Until the early twentieth century, Butrint was covered in earth and thick vegetation from years of flooding and abandonment. In the late nineteen twenties, the Italians took great interest in Butrint and sent an archaeological team under the direction of Luigi Ugolini to carry out excavations there. Mussolini 's Fascist government sponsored this project, for Mussolini considered himself the new founder of Rome, the new Aeneas. Virgil recorded that Aeneas had stopped at Butrint on his way to found Rome; therefore, Mussolini sent archaeologists to trace Aeneas's steps and to tighten the spiritual connection between Rome and Butrint. Ugolini uncovered many of the site's most exceptional monuments, including the theater area and the baptistry. Following the liberation of Albania in 1944 from the occupation of Nazi Germany, Albanian archaeologists undertook an even more ambitious series of excavations. Their efforts culminated in the foundation of an independent Albanian Institute of Archaeology, which continues to carry out archaeological and conservation efforts at Butrint.

Their quest is to learn more about a Greek colony that flourished at the end of the second century B.C., but the team instead has found an unexpected abundance of artifacts left from another era: the Stone Age, the period associated with the earliest known chipped stone tools plus a possible Neanderthal site. UC archaeologist Jack L. Davis, co-director of the UC-Albanian team, traveled to Albania this month to report the project's first findings at a two-day conference in Tirana marking the 50th anniversary of the Academy of Science's Institute of Archaeology, UC's partner in the project. Davis and the team began field work in the Apollonia region of Albania in May and June 1998 and will continue work June 15-July 15, 1999. "We had no idea we would be walking into all this prehistoric evidence," Davis said. "Such a widespread distribution of artifacts from the Stone Age era, in particular, indicates that this area of central Albania has the potential to rank among the larger open air Stone Age sites in Europe. Most Neanderthal and Stone Age sites are inside caves."
