This paper presents the preliminary data about the activities carried out during the first campaign (2021) of the F.L.E.A. Project (Fortified Landscape in Eastern Albania), as a result of collaboration between the University of Catania and the Institute of Archaeology of Tirana. The research area includes the central and eastern portion of the Seman basin, within the territories of the current prefectures of Elbasan and Korçë. The aim of the project is to develop a digital map of the fortified sites, that takes into account not only military aspects, but also environmental and geomorphological factors, in order to outline an organic interpretation of the ancient landscape. Starting from the territorial framework of the research area, the main methodologies used during the different stage of the mission will be discussed. Following a brief listing of the investigated sites, where the preliminary data collected through the integration between proximal and remote sensing and archaeological survey are presented.
In questo contributo vengono presentate le note preliminari in merito alle attività di indagine svolte durante la prima campagna (2021) del progetto F.L.E.A. (Fortified Landscape in Eastern Albania), frutto della collaborazione tra la cattedra di Archeologia Classica dell’Università degli Studi di Catania e l’Istituto di Archeologia di Tirana. L’area della ricerca si concentra lungo la porzione centrale e orientale del bacino idrografico del Seman, all’interno dei territori delle attuali prefetture di Elbasan e Korçë. L’obiettivo del progetto è quello di sviluppare una mappatura digitale dei siti fortificati d’altura che tenga conto non soltanto degli aspetti militari, ma anche dei fattori ambientali e geomorfologici, al fine di proporre una lettura organica del paesaggio antico sulla lunga durata. Partendo dall’inquadramento territoriale dell’area della ricerca, saranno indicate le principali metodologie utilizzate durante le differenti fasi della missione. Segue una breve schedatura dei siti indagati, in cui vengono presentati i dati preliminari acquisiti attraverso l’integrazione tra le tecniche di remote e proximal sensing e la prospezione diretta.

This paper presents the preliminary data about the activities carried out during the first campaign (2021) of the F.L.E.A.

The research area includes the central and eastern portion of the Seman basin, within the territories of the current prefectures of Elbasan and Korçë. The aim of the project is to develop a digital map of the fortified sites, that takes into account not only military aspects, but also environmental and geomorphological factors, in order to outline an organic interpretation of the ancient landscape. Starting from the territorial framework of the research area, the main methodologies used during the different stage of the mission will be discussed.
