Rovena KURTI ON SOME ASPECTS OF THE LATE BRONZE AGE BURIAL COSTUME FROM NORTH ALBANIA Introduction This paper aims to offer an outline of the main elements of the Late Bronze Age burial costume from north Albania, focusing more specifically on the dress and body ornaments. The study is based on the funerary evidence from previous publications of the different necropoleis excavated in the area, which consist exclusively of tumuli. In the context of a rich and updated literature from the neighboring regions, we have tried to reexamine the dating of some of the costume components from this part of the Albania, which appears inconsistent in the Albanian literature. Furthermore, the direct observations of the ornaments helped for a better understanding of their morphological features, and together with a closer analysis of the respective grave assemblages, they were all essential for a closer chronological framing. On one hand, these investigations revealed the presence of a modest, but still, an important corpus of Late Bronze Age ornaments, which allow tracking some of the main characteristics of the burial costume of this period. In a wider context, they offer important clues for the small- and large- scale inter-regional relations and how these are reflected in the burial costume of this period. However, on the other hand, we should stress from the beginning, that the available fragmentary data does not allow us to develop a full discussion on all the types of costumes present, or on the social identities expressed through them in the funerary ritual. Among the obstacles, it should be noted the total lack of 206 207 Rovena KURTI ON SOME ASPECTS OF THE LATE BRONZE AGE BURIAL COSTUME FROM NORTH ALBANIA anthropological data, some inconsistencies in the methods of documentation of the confirmed that certain types excavated tumuli, and particularly the fact that the tumuli of Çinamak, from the of pins attributed traditionally north-east corner of Albania, and to which belongs the most important part of the in Albanian studies to the ornaments, remain still unpublished systematically. first phase of the Iron Age, The Late Bronze Age in Albania, which after the local chronology belonged to the earliest phases corresponds generally to the middle 16th-12th/early 11th centuries B.C.1 (Middle of the use of Lofkënd tumulus Bronze Age and early Late Bronze Age in Central Europe and Central Balkans), is (14-12th centuries B.C.), or to the period of intense multidirectional exchanges and cultural influences, particularly the Late Bronze Age6. along the north-south routes.

  • On the Flood Forecasting at the Bulgarian Part Of
    BALWOIS 2004 Ohrid, FY Republic of Macedonia, 25-29 May 2004 The Regionalisation Of Albanian Territory According To The Annual Specific Yield Bardhyl Shehu Polytechnic University of Tirana Tirana, Albania Molnar Kolaneci Hydrometeorological Institute Tirana, Albania Abstract Albanian territory is very reach in water resources. The spatial distribution of the water resources in Albanian territory is heterogeneous due to a high variability of climatic and land characteristics. The parameter chosen for the regionalisation is the specific yield. The long-term average of specific yield has a spatial variability of 10 to 100 l/s/km2 in Albanian territory. The data used include the period 1951-1990 of 80 hydrometric stations distributed in whole Albanian hydrographic network. The lower limit of catchment area (basin) of 100 km2 is accepted. As the result are established two maps. In the first one is presented the general regionalisation of water resources according to the concept of high and low water resources. The second one presents the more detailed regionalisation that includes 8classes. This is the first attempt of the regionalisation of the water resources in Albanian territory. Key words: Water resources, specific yield, regionalisation, Albania The regionalisation of Albanian territory according to the annual specific yield. Introduction Albanian territory is very reach in water resources. The spatial distribution of the water resources in Albanian territory is heterogeneous due to a high variability of climatic and land characteristics. Evaluation of water resources and their presentation in a comprehensive form is useful information for decision maker’s institutions, which are interested for a complex exploitation of water resources.

    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 5 No 3 S1 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy December 2016 The Classification of Rural Settlements in Gjirokastra Region Assoc. Prof. Albina Sinani Department of Geography, Faculty of Education and Social Sciences, “Eqrem Çabej” University Gjirokaster 6001, Albania; *[email protected] Doi:10.5901/ajis.2016.v5n3s1p24 Abstract The network of residential areas in the region of Gjirokastra has changed depending of a complex factors. This has affected to the utilization rate of the region's rural territories. Considering the economic orientation of rural settlements by relief factor, we look that in settlements that lie in the landscape field, dominates this main branch of the economy: agriculture, livestock, processing of agricultural and livestock products and trade. In settlements that lie in low relief and high montane prevail livestock and orchards, while in the mountainous terrain of petty farming prevails (in villages of municipalities Picar, Cepo, Pogon and Frashër). To achieve this classification serves the real estate registry, which contains books of plots, with surfaces by categories (arable land, orchard, vineyards, forests, pastures, unproductive land). Until 1990, social-economic factor determining in order to limit the application of the regulatory policies of rural settlements. The old system aimed the limiting of the occupation of agricultural land and increasing population density in the rural area. After 1990 have not been implemented proper policies for the development of rural areas. Gjirokastra region rural areas have outstanding value to the organization as space and landscape, as well as the architecture and internal organization of housing and other buildings, infrastructure etc.

  • Flood Forecasting in the Western Lowland of Albania with Application of the Hydrological Modelling
    J. Int. Environmental Application & Science, Vol. 15(4):216-223 (2020) Research Paper Flood Forecasting in the Western Lowland of Albania with Application of the Hydrological Modelling Klodian Zaimi∗, Orjeta Jaupaj Institute of GeoSciences Energy Water and Environment, Tirana, Albania Received December 07, 2020; Accepted December 30, 2020 Abstract: Floods are natural disasters with more consequences in Albania. The most risked areas, from river floods, lie mainly in the western lowlands of the country. These areas, which are mainly areas with agricultural development, are very important in the economic development of Albania. Historically, the hydrological forecast in Albania has been based on observations of the upstream of rivers. These methods do not provide the time needed for flood management because floods rutting time to the flood plain is relatively short, due to the large slope and short rivers. Only in the last decade, more advanced techniques have been used to forecast floods, including hydrological modelling. Analysis of the present status and existing methods, in flood forecasting, is necessary to determine where the forecasting system should be improved. Determination, if there will be flooding, is related to the flood hydrograph forecast in the river sections, which are of interest. Increased flood forecasting time can be performed with the help of HEC-HMS hydrological modelling and meteorological model ICON-EU. The hydrological model used as input daily hydrometeorological observed data for precipitation and temperature in the period 1990-2018. The hydrological historical data in the period 1990-2008 was used for calibrating the model. Flood forecasting has as its main objective information in time to the authorities, or the population to take precautions measures, and to be prepared in case the forecast on the likelihood of a flood, including the size and timing of the event, at key locations of watercourses.

One-third of the country consists of lowlands located primarily in the west and extending along the Adriatic and Ionian coasts. The remainder of the country is hilly or mountainous and offers tremendous views and vistas. The highest point in Albania, at 2,751 m, is Mount Korabi in Dibra district. As one might expect, this beautiful and varied terrain offers visitors many opportunities to enjoy Albania’s natural beauty. The beauty and unique climate offered by the highlands is often just a short drive away from all that the coast and its Mediterranean-like climate have to offer. Albania also enjoys long periods of pleasant weather. Summer is the most sunny and beautiful of the seasons, but the remainder of the year is beautiful, as well. 2 Albanian Nature 3 Relief and Climate 4 Albanian Nature The Albanian seashore is an expansive 450 km and includes numerous lagoons. The sea has influenced Albanian history and culture since antiquity through the trade and fishing opportunities it provides. Heading north and/or east from the sea, visitors will gain altitude and truly begin to appreciate the highlands and, eventually, the alpine areas. The mountainous terrain in the northern Alps is breathtaking. Snow cover lasts for nearly half the year and af- fords numerous outdoor recreation possibilities, particularly in the Albanian Alps in the north of country.

Abstract The main objective of this paper is to investigate the genera of diatoms, which were identified in the Drino river in the period 2011-2012 in the Gjirokastër region. A classification of the quality of the water through the bio- indicator diatoms was also carried out. The study area included 5 sampling sites along the Drino River. In total, 116 taxa of diatoms within 33 different genera were found.. There were 59 bio-indicator species. Detailed floristic analysis of the diatoms’ flora has not been conducted before in theserivers. The presence of polysaprobic species in the Drino river, such as, Gomphonema parvulum, G.olivaceum, Nitzschia palea, is a clear indication of the pollution of waters coming from a varietyof source. According to the bio-indicator saprobic species investigated the waters in the Drino rive isclassified as II class of bonity, respectively as mesosaprob. Based on this estimation and on the use of the Drinos river waters by the local residents, the physical-chemical and microbiological study of these waters in the future is of great interest.
