The Excavation of the Prehistoric Burial Tumulus at Lofkënd, Albania

What inspired the systematic exploration of Lofkend by UCLA was more than the promise of an unplundered necropolis; it was also a chance to revisit the significance of this tumulus and its fellows for the emergence of urbanism and complexity in ancient Illyria. Zusammenfassung The burial tumulus of Lofkend lies in one of the richest archaeological areas of Albania. In addition to artifacts! the recovery of surviving plant remains! bones! and other organic material contribute insights into the environmental and ecological history of the region.
