Summary

A new archaeological project (2015–2018) in Butrint, led by Italian and Albanian researchers, has significantly advanced the understanding of the site's ancient history. The collaboration uncovered previously unknown monuments and structures, shedding light on the region's cultural heritage dating back to at least the 1920s when early excavations began under Luigi Maria Ugolini. This project builds upon decades of research, revealing new insights into Butrint's layered past as a major center in Northern Epirus. The study employed modern archaeological techniques to document and analyze findings, contributing valuable data to the preservation and interpretation of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
