It was the spring of 1924 when Luigi Maria Ugolini spotted the promontory that held the remains of the ancient city of Butrint. On the centenary of that first journey, the Butrint Project (University of Bologna, Institute of Archaeology of Tirana) promoted the “Butrint Cento” program, designed as a series of opportunities to reflect together on the long history of research in Butrint and the surrounding region, its impact, and its future.
This volume collects the outcomes of one of these moments of meeting and discussion, offering contributions that present the most recent investigation results and discuss the challenges and future prospects of historical and archaeological research in Albania and Epirus. The texts bring together the results of studies conducted by historians and archaeologists involved in various Italian, Albanian, and international archaeological missions currently active in this region, outlining an up-to-date picture of research in a key area of the ancient Mediterranean.
