Archaeology and Economy in the Ancient World, Bd. 39; Boundaries
Sacred places, territorial economy and cultural identity in northern Epirus (Chaonia) Nadia Aleotti – Anna Gamberini – Lorenzo Mancini* Until the late Classical period, Chaonia, the northernmost part of Epirus corresponding to nowadays southern Albania, is clearly differentiated in two cultural units: the coastal areas that borders with Thesprotia, falling from the end of the th7 century BC into the peiraia of Corcyra, and the ‘indigenous’ districts of the interior (fig. 1). If the belonging of the Chaonians to Greek culture and ethnicity could hardly be denied by present scholarship, the literary sources of Classical times regarded them as barbarians.1 This ‘peripheral’ connotation, even if depending on a sort of cultural and geographical prejudice, seems to find a parallel in the archaeological record concerning the sacred landscape.2 Earliest attestations of worship come from Butrint, part of the Archaic Corcyreanpeiraia , where an inscribed potsherd found in a votive deposit in 1938 points to the existence of a cult of Athena as early as the 6th century BC, possibly related to a monumental temple, located, according to a recent hypothesis, on the acropolis hill.3 Apart from this early case, the development of a full-fledged religious architecture among the native tribes can be traced as far back as the 4th century BC, occurring in most cases only in the Hellenistic age. It is the period when new fortified centres, featuring in some instances a real urban layout and a Hellenistic-like monumental equipment, make their appearance beside the traditional network of komai. The new centralised settlement pattern, with main centre-poleis (Phoinike and Antigonea) and their gravitating system of minor settlements bordering territories well defined also from a geomorphologic point of view, even if not unknown to the other Epirote ethne, seems to have been particularly familiar with the Chaonians,4 conditioning the spatial distribution of the cults as well.

THE HIGH WALL AND THE NARROW GATE: ALBANIAN BORDERS AT THE MARGINS OF EUROPE Gilles de Rapper My paper is an attempt to understand the impact of changes in the borderland between Greece and Albanian after 1991. More precisely, I would like to relate the recent success of some “ideas” about the ancient past of the area with the state of social relations between Albanians and Greeks as experienced by local inhabitants of the borderland. Established in 1913 as a boundary between two national states, the Greek-Albanian border came to separate two geopolitical camps during the Cold War and became an external border of Europe in 1981 when Greece joined the European Community.

The Lost Caves of Luigi Cardini: Explorations in Albania 1930-2001

The Lost Caves of Luigi Cardini: Explorations in Albania 1930-2001 Capra 3 available at - http://capra.group.shef.ac.uk/3/cardini.html Introduction In June 2000, a team of archaeologists from the Institute of World Archaeology, UK, and the Albanian Institute of Archaeology began a field survey in southern Albania. The aim of the project was to re-locate a number of "lost" prehistoric caves and surface sites that were first explored in the 1930s by an Italian archaeologist, Luigi Cardini. In 1930, the director of the Italian Archaeological Mission to Albania, Luigi Maria Ugolini, recruited Cardini as the mission's prehistorian. Between 1930 and 1939, Cardini travelled extensively throughout south-western Albania and, with the help of a few dedicated Albanian guides, mapped and recorded over 60 natural caves and rockshelters. Under Cardini's supervision, Albanian workmen carried out trial excavations within some of the most promising caves, revealing evidence of human occupation dating from early prehistory to Roman times. Cardini also identified a number of surface sites close to the seashore, where concentrations of Middle Palaeolithic stone tools provided evidence of Neanderthal activity. Cardini’s discoveries, particularly that of a Palaeolithic open-air site at Xarra, close to the southern border with Greece, represent a major part of our current knowledge of Albanian prehistory today.

By speculatively reversing the order of landscape perception from land to water, the coastline becomes a flexible device capable of responding to unpredictable future events - natural disasters related to climate change (rising sea levels), or globally challenging socio-political phenomena (such as mass migration growing in scope, complexity and impact). The experimental design approach involves the design and representation of an incremental waterscape. By reversing the morphological perception of the coastal landscape and making a set of tactical selections in natural and artificial landscapes, the students highlighted the territory’s potential. With new awareness, they proposed site-specific interventions along the coast and inland,
