March 3, 2021 Cultural Heritage Center (ECA/P/C) SA-5 Floor C2 US Department of State 2200 C Street NW Washington, DC 20522 March 3, 2021 Cultural Heritage Center (ECA/P/C) SA-5 Floor C2 U.S. Department of State 2200 C Street NW Washington, D.C. 20522-05C2 Dear Members of the Cultural Property Advisory Committee: The Archaeological Institute of America (AIA), with its membership of approximately 200,000 professional archaeologists, corresponding members, students, and enthusiasts, all united by a shared passion for archaeology and its role in furthering human knowledge, expresses its strong support of the request by the Government of Albania to impose U.S. import restrictions on certain categories of archaeological material from the Middle Paleolithic to the Ottoman Period and ethnographic material from the Byzantine, Middle Age, and Ottoman periods under Article 9 of the UNESCO Convention (1970) and the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act (1983). At the core of its mission, the AIA promotes archaeological inquiry and public understanding of the material record of the human past to foster an appreciation of diverse cultures and our shared humanity. The AIA supports archaeologists, their research and its dissemination, and ethical professional practice; educates people of all ages about the significance of archaeological discovery; and advocates for the preservation of the world’s archaeological heritage. The modern country of Albania encompasses ancient Illyrian settlements, Greek colonies, and Roman cities that were part of the provinces of Dalmatia, Macedonia and Moesia Superior. Port centers along the Adratic coast served as critical locus points for international trade throughout antiquity. Archaeologists study the development of social complexity in the ancient Mediterranean world, and the interaction of diverse groups and polities in this region helps us to understand how provincial interactions shaped the development of empires and regional cultural traditions. These are core subjects of study for the AIA’s membership. Current excavations continue to provide new knowledge about the about the distribution of ancient settlements and cities, mortuary customs, trade networks across the ancient Mediterranean, and the lives of everyday people outside of the Italian peninsula and Greek mainland. Albania has three sites on the World Heritage List with significant archaeological finds: Butrint (an ancient Greek and later Roman city and bishopric in Epirus, with a Greek theater, Late Antique Baptistry, and surviving fortifications); the Historic Centres of Berat and Gjirokastër (which include Byzantine churches and Ottoman castles); and the Natural and Cultural Heritage of the Ohrid Region (which include Illyrian settlements, remains of the Via Egnatia Roman Road and the Paleo-Christian Church of Lin). Despite the presence of dramatic fortifications, burial tumuli, amphitheaters, and palace architecture archaeologists interpret the social history of the ancient world through regular and ordinary artifacts. For this reason, the AIA is particularly interested in continuing to include in the MOU such mass-produced items as coins, ceramics, worked stone, metal ingots, glass, worked wood, organic materials, and other items of exchange. These artifacts provide crucial information—when found in their original archaeological context—about mechanisms of communication, commerce, and the circulation of goods in antiquity. The Cultural Property Advisory Committee must undertake a review of four statutory determinations when reviewing the request by a State to enter into a memorandum of understanding imposing import restrictions on certain classes of looted cultural property. This letter will address the first, second, and fourth determinations in the case of Albania. The first determination requires that the cultural patrimony of the requesting State be in jeopardy from the pillage of archaeological materials. The current extensive pillage of archaeological sites in Albania dates to the Albanian Civil War in 1997, which seems to have prompted extensive looting for ancient goldwork and other salable finds. Much of the archaeological research that followed the Albanian Civil War was a “rescue archaeology” of looted cultural heritage sites.1 Despite heroic efforts by Albanian authorities to curtail archaeological site looting and illicit trafficking in the intervening years, significant pillage continues— especially of underwater cultural heritage sites. Recent news reports have noted extensive looting of shipwrecks, in particular of Roman amphorae.2 The AIA has been concerned with the looting of archaeological sites in Albania for some time. In 2009, the AIA hosted Lorenc Bejko, a faculty member at the University of Tiranë, as its Kress Lecturer, specifically to draw attention to the looting of archaeological sites such as the Tumulus of Kamenica (a Bronze Age and Iron Age burial mound, with some 200 internments). Bejko’s research found that some 15 percent of the overall mound had been damaged by looting. This pillage damaged the integrity of the monument and resulted in the irreversible loss of important contextual data. Bejko publicized the looting of the site widely in Albanian media, showing the loss to the country. His work highlighted the role of professional archaeologists and the role of law enforcement, which generated new interest in protection initiatives and educational programs. Bejko also founded the Albanian Rescue Archaeology Unit as part of the International Center for Albanian Archaeology with the support of the Packard Humanities Institute to promote documentation and salvage research. The second determination requires that a requesting State have “taken measures consistent with the 1970 UNESCO Convention to protect its own cultural patrimony.” Such measures include adopting and enforcing legal provisions to protect the cultural patrimony, creating a national inventory of protected cultural property, establishing an antiquities service (or similar government agency), establishing scientific and technical institutions, such as museums, taking educational measures, and organizing the supervision of archaeological excavations.3 The Ministry of Culture of Albania sets national policies in cultural heritage management. It coordinates with several institutes with specific domains of responsibility. The National Cultural Heritage Safeguarding Inspectorate serves as the official inspector of archaeological investigations, manages preservation and restoration projects, and implements cultural property registration. The National Cultural Heritage Institute focuses on research, study, conservation, and preventative and salvage archaeology. The National Cultural Heritage Registration Institute maintains the official register of cultural property in Albania and works to prevent cultural property trafficking by coordinating with Albanian state institutions, law enforcement, and international organizations. Altogether, this infrastructure for heritage protection demonstrates Albania’s implementation of “measures consistent with the 1970 UNESCO Convention,” as required by the second determination. 1 See Diana Michelle Fox, “Under Albanian Soil,” Archaeology, Online Features, 12 August 2004, accessed at https://archive.archaeology.org/online/features/albania/ 2 See Briseida Mema, “Looters Plunder Albania's Sunken Treasures,” Phys.org, 18 November 2018, accessed at https://phys.org/news/2018-11-looters-plunder-albania-sunken-treasures.html; and Philip Chrysopoulos, “Dozens of Ancient Greek Shipwrecks Found Looted off Albanian Coast,” Greek Reporter, 20 November 2018, accessed at https://greekreporter.com/2018/11/20/dozens-of-ancient-greek-shipwrecks-found-looted-off-albanian-coast/. 3 This list is based on Article 5 of the UNESCO Convention (1970). It illustrates those measures that the Convention expects States to take and is the basis for the second determination under the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act. The fourth determination looks to whether import restrictions are “consistent with the general interest of the international community in the interchange of cultural property among nations for scientific, cultural, and educational purposes.” Among other criteria, this determination looks to whether a requesting State is receptive to collaboration with foreign, especially American, researchers and whether it is willing to lend cultural objects to foreign, particularly American, institutions. Albania has been open to American archaeological investigations. The first American research project in Albania was an investigation of Konispol Cave, co-directed by Karl Petruso (University of Texas, Arlington) and Muzafer Korkuti, with the assistance of Curtis Runnels (Boston University) and Lorenc Bejko. The first large-scale American project was the Malakastër Regional Archaeological Project (MRAP) at the Greek colony of Apollonia, co-directed by Jack Davis (University of Cincinnati), Sharon Stocker (University of Cincinnati), Michael Galaty (University of Michigan), Muzafer Korkuti and Skender Muçaj. Investigations at Dyrrachium-Epidamnus (an ancient Greek city in Illyria founded in the 7th century BC by colonists from Corinth and Corcyra) were co-directed by Davis and Stocker together with Iris Pojani and Afrim Hoti. The Bonjaket Temple excavations, which emerged from MRAP, were co- directed by Davis, Stocker, Pojani, and Vangjel Dimo. Galaty also co-directed the Shala Valley project together with Ols Lafe and Zamir Trafilica. The project data, archived at the Archaeology Data Service, is freely available to both the American

  • Service Quality in the Albanian Banking Sector
    Service quality in the Albanian banking sector Bachelor Thesis for Obtaining the Degree Bachelor of Science (BSc) in International Management Submitted to Prof.Dr. Horst Treiblmaier Aldi Ruli 1221001 Vienna, Austria, 14th of February 2018 Affidavit I hereby affirm that this Bachelors Thesis represents my own written work and that I have used no sources and aids other than those indicated. All passages quoted from publications or paraphrased from these sources are properly cited and attributed. The thesis was not submitted in the same or in a substantially similar version, not even partially, to another examination board and was not published elsewhere. 14/ 02 / 2018 Aldi Ruli Date Signature 2 Abstract In this study, I analyze service quality in the Albanian commercial banking sector. An empirical survey was used to gather primary data. The questionnaire developed for this study is based on the SERVPERF model which is made of 22 items that identify the influence of five dimensions (i.e., tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy). The questionnaires also includes additional items such as ‘age’, ‘education’, ‘profession’, ‘monthly income’. A total of 175 customers of Albanian commercial banks have been surveyed. The empirical analysis was carried out in PSPP. The objectives of this study include gaining insights on how customers perceive service quality and it’s five dimensions. The results of the survey were ranked from the most important dimension to the last important one. The two main research questions are ‘ How do clients perceive the attributes of quality?’ and ‘How do customers differ regarding the five categories of SERVPERF?’. This study will serve bank executives in improving the attributes and dimensions that are most important to banking customers.

The attempt has been made to present all emendations subsequent to the editio pri?iceps ; but a few repeated misspellings of proper names and similarly obvious corrections are not reported. A few of the emenda- tions of the princeps have been included exempli gratia. The apparatus of Giarratano (Titi Livi Ah Urhe Condita Libri XLI-XLF, Rome, 1933) has been constantly consulted, but not always followed. The maps are intended to show the location of all places mentioned in the volume, if the location is known. Kiepert's Atlas Antiquus has been used in preparing these maps ; places not located by Kiepert have a question-mark following the name. Where the name is spelled by Kiepert in a way conspicuously different from the Livy text, the Kiepert spelling will be found in parentheses in the Index. The map of Rome is taken from O.

  • National Myths in Interdependence
    National Myths in Interdependence: The Narratives of the Ancient Past among Macedonians and Albanians in the Republic of Macedonia after 1991 By Matvey Lomonosov Submitted to Central European University Nationalism Studies Program In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts CEU eTD Collection Advisor: Professor Maria Kovács Budapest, Hungary 2012 Abstract The scholarship on national mythology primarily focuses on the construction of historical narratives within separate “nations,” and oftentimes presents the particular national ist elites as single authors and undisputable controllers of mythological versions of the past. However, the authorship and authority of the dominant national ist elites in designing particular narratives of the communal history is limited. The national past, at least in non- totalitarian societies, is widely negotiated, and its interpretation is always heteroglot . The particular narratives that come out of the dominant elites’ “think-tanks” get into a polyphonic discursive milieu discussing the past. Thus they become addressed to alternative narratives, agree with them, deny them or reinterpret them. The existence of those “other” narratives as well as the others’ authorship constitutes a specific factor in shaping mythopoeic activities of dominant political and intellectual national elites. Then, achieving personal or “national” goals by nationalists usually means doing so at the expense or in relations to the others. If in this confrontation the rivals use historical myths, the evolution of the later will depend on mutual responses. Thus national historical myths are constructed in dialogue, contain voices of the others, and have “other” “authors” from within and from without the nation in addition to “own” dominant national ist elite.

  • Interventions by the Roman Republic in Illyria 230 – 167 BC
    Interventions by the Roman Republic in Illyria 230 – 167 BC Submitted by Jack James Willoughby, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics, September 2018. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ……………………………………………………………………………… Page 1 of 181 Abstract This thesis aims to determine how and why Rome undertook a series of interventions in Illyria during the period of 230 – 167 BC. The thesis is based on a detailed examination and consideration of the ancient written sources and the subsequent historiography on the subject. The Roman interventions in Illyria during this period have traditionally been treated as a component of wider studies of Roman expansion, although Rome’s involvement in Illyria has recently been examined by Dzino in his 2010 work Illyricum in Roman Politics 229BC-AD68. This work examined the development and integration of Illyricum in Roman political discourse, in which the Roman interventions were a smaller component in the broader study. A study of the Roman interventions in Illyria during the period of 230 – 167 BC has never previously been treated on this scale, nor effectively with a synthesis of the various approaches and pieces of evidence that are now available.
