Archeology Religion Creeds Albanian Language Fine arts ... Balkan Fine Art Recent Publications Archeology The concern for archeological values in Albania started as early as the 19th century when scholars of historical geography devoted their research to the localisation and identification of records from ancient sources. The first to pay a visit to Albania is the French Pouqueville (F.C.H.L. Pouqueville, Voyage dans la Gréce, comprenant la description ancienne et moderne de l’Epire, A French archaeological mission, headed by Leon Rey, launched its systematic researches from 1924 until 1938, whose results were published in the Albania magazine (L. Rey, Albanie, Revue d’archéologie, Paris 1925-1939 in six volumes). In 1926, an Italian archaeological mission started researches in the ancient city of Phoenicia and then in Butrint. The Italian mission was initially led by L. Ugolini to be replaced later by Marconi and Mustill (L. Ugolini, Albania Antica, Roma 1927-1942, 3 vol.); D.Mustill, La civilta preistorica dell’Albania, Roma 1940). After the Second World War till 1990, the Albanian archaeologists carried out both archaeological researches and studies. In 1948, the first Archaeological-Ethnographic Museum was set up in Tirana, in 1976 the department of the Archaeological Research Studies was established, and in 1991 the Institute of Archaeology. During the past half-century, apart from the Central Archaeological Museum and an archaeological showcase in the National Historic Museum, museums of an archaeological type were established in Durrës, Apollonia, Butrint, Korça, where unique artifacts are displayed.

WHNEWS 13.2 (17 April 1997) Contents News: * World Heritage site of Butrinti, Albania, reported looted * Great Barrier Reef legal case proceeds through Australian Courts * Nordic Council of Ministers Announces World Heritage Seminar in Iceland * Canadian Rocky Mountains World Heritage site Bow Valley Report available - ** World Heritage site of Butrinti, Albania, reported looted Agence France Press, in a story dated 28 March 1997, reported that the World Heritage site of Butrinti, in the extreme south of Albania, had suffered damage from looting as a result of the civil unrest in the country. 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.

26. Culture Without Context: Issue 10, How The Goddess Lost Her Head This was Hasan Ceka, a Viennatrained archaeologist who in the post-war periodwas 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.

Reviewed by Barry Baldwin, University of Calgary. As the subtitle discloses, this portly volume is both conference record and Festschrift, the star of the show being the veteran expert in Greek vases Arthur Dale Trendall, appearing here as both honorand and participant. Like many another epic, this brobdingnagian production has been long in the making. The conference itself was held in July, 1985. Descoeudres' prefatory acknowledgements are dated October, 1987. The book itself appeared late in 1990. Habent sua fata libelli. After lists of contents, plates, abbreviations, and contributors, running in all to 38 pages, Descoeudres kicks things off with an editorial introduction-cum-synthesis that I suppose might have gone down better after a few jars of good Aussie beer. It seemed to myself both silly and superfluous. The opening sentence is preposterous: "When, back in September 1983, the plan was launched to mount an archaeological congress at the University of Sydney on the theme 'Greek Colonists and Native Populations', it aroused bewilderment both in Australia and overseas." Ironically, a good demonstration of colonial mentality. Why on earth, in these days of jet travel and fax machines, should anyone be bewildered by the prospect of an academic conference on any subject in Australia? No such emotions are expressed by Graeme Clark, Deputy Director of the Humanities Research Centre at the Australian National University and also associated with the volume under review, in his preface to

Enver Hoxhe, Albania's post-war Communist dictator, formerly opened a prototype Institute in 1948 and appointed its first director. With Soviet support the Institute grew steadily, embarking upon a programme of large-scale excavations to determine the indigenous Illyrian origins of the Albanian people. In the early 1970s the Institute was given its own building with a museum, and was provided with state funding for an annual scientific journal, Illiria. In these years there was a sense of romantic purpose to the activities of the Institute. As many as fifty excavation campaigns were mounted in any one year, and Hoxhe himself took a personal interest in the archaeological discoveries. When Nikita Khruschev pressed Hoxhe to create a submarine base in Lake Butrint involving the destruction of the fine Greek, Roman and Byzantine ruins there, he haughtily refused, condemning the Soviet leader's ignorance of history.

Let American Consumer Counseling Help you Get Out of Debt! Archaeology in Albania In Albanian territories have been made many archaeological researches. During the XIX century Albania was "invaded" by foreign archaeologists. Their researches gave many results but the most part of them went to the personal archive of the archaeologists. Albanian archaeological research started after the IInd World War. The first National Archaeological Museum was established in 1948, and then sistenatic research began in Apollonia. Another interessant region was that of Mati, in Northern Albania. There are many testimonials of prehistoric human beings living in Albanian territories and also of some prehistorical houses. The region of Korca, in South -Eastern Albania is the most-known. Testimonials about the Illyrian period are in many and they are clear. Research in Durres and Apolonia, Butrint and Ardenitza verify the Illyrian existence in Albanian territories. Illyrian cities were created in the Vth century b.c. There are many testimonials of the long war against Romans and Greeks. Archaeology in Albania is rich of information and it is very important for many conferences and also written in many books. But for more information the best that you can do is to come in Albania. Please visit the

Historical Setting The Albanians are probably an ethnic outcropping of the Illyrians, an ancient Balkan people who intermingled and made war with the Greeks, Thracians, and Macedonians before succumbing to Roman rule around the time of Christ. Eastern and Western powers, secular and religious, battled for centuries after the fall of Rome to control the lands that constitute modern-day Albania. All the Illyrian tribes except the Albanians disappeared during the Dark Ages under the waves of migrating barbarians. A forbidding mountain homeland and resilient tribal society enabled the Albanians to survive into modern times with their identity their Indo-European language intact. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the Ottoman Turks swept into the western Balkans. After a quixotic defense mounted by the Albanians' greatest hero, Skanderbeg, the Albanians succumbed to the Turkish sultan's forces. During five centuries of Ottoman rule, about two-thirds of the Albanian population, including its most powerful feudal landowners, converted to Islam. Many Albanians won fame and fortune as soldiers, administrators, and merchants in far-flung parts of the empire. As the centuries passed, however, Ottoman rulers lost the capacity to command the loyalty of local pashas, who governed districts on the empire's fringes. Soon pressures created by emerging national movements among the empire's farrago of peoples threatened to shatter the empire itself. The Ottoman rulers of the nineteenth century struggled in vain to shore up central authority, introducing reforms aimed at harnessing unruly pashas and checking the spread of nationalist ideas.

The Illyrians carried on commerce and warfare with their neighbors. The ancient Macedonians probably had some Illyrian roots, but their ruling class adopted Greek cultural characteristics. The Illyrians also mingled with the Thracians, another ancient people with adjoining lands on the east. In the south and along the Adriatic Sea coast, the Illyrians were heavily influenced by the Greeks, who founded trading colonies there. The present-day city of Durrës evolved from a Greek colony known as Epidamnos, which was founded at the end of the seventh century B.C. Another famous Greek colony, Apollonia, arose between Durrës and the port city of Vlorë.

Butrint, Albania Upon hearing that photographer Giovanni Lattanzi and I were planning to visit the Greek isle of Corfu, an archaeologist friend of ours exclaimed, "Oh, good! You'll be visiting Butrint." "Butrint? What's that?" I asked. "It's simply the last major unexcavated archaeological site in the Mediterranean." I had already begun imagining a picnic on a remote, sunlit Greek islet, surrounded only by a few scattered stones and perhaps some goats, when our friend added soberly: "It's in Albania." Albania? Just last year, Albania was engulfed in a chaotic and bloody civil war. Pictures of armed civilians clashing with government forces and helicopters airlifting visitors to safety filled the evening news. During the day, anarchy reigned on the streets of the capital, Tirana. At night, those same streets were eerily deserted, the silence punctuated by rounds of gunfire. Undeterred, we scoured our maps in search of Butrint. We finally learned that Butrint's remains sit on a bluff in the highlands of southern Albania, only six miles from Corfu.

Message Board Archaeology Odyssey 's 10 Most Endangered Sites See: Map Catal Hoyuk Ani Hierakonpolis ... Tipasa Catal Hoyuk Turkey Early 8th milennium B.C. The World's First Town Some 9,000 years ago, in a grassy region of south-central Turkey, a group of hunter-gatherers discovered a new means of survival: farming. They then established a settlement that over the next millennium would grow to 32 acres and house up to 10,000 people. This Neolithic settlement at Catal Hoyuk (cha-TAHL hoo-yook) was first excavated in 1961, when James Mellaart of the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara sank a trench in the site's 65-foot-high mound. Over the next five years he uncovered a honeycomb of almost identical, rectangular, flat-roofed mudbrick houses, which had square living rooms leading into long, narrow storerooms. Each of the houses contained about 270 square feet of living space, suggesting that they were residences of nuclear families. Windows were placed up high, near the roof, and the open spaces between the houses were used as garbage dumps. Curiously, the houses had no doors.
