Archaeology in Albania 1984-1990

Abstract

•Archaeology in Albania 1973-83' (AR 1983-84, 102-119) provided a survey of archaeological research carried out in Albania between those dates, and in like manner this article summarizes the work of 1984-1990. This continued to concentrate on three main fields: prehistory, Illyrian antiquity, and late antiquity to the middle ages. It draws upon articles published in Iliria between 1984-1990, but in cases where there has been fuller publication, the respective literature has also been noted. (For further information on publications on Albanian archaeology, see AR 1983-84 102-04.) The centres at which research has been carried out are grouped according to regions from N to S (Fig. 1) and the division within each region is chronological. Drawings are by Elena Nikolla and II ir Zaloshnja and photographs by Adnan Hyka.
