A group of 25 Austrian archaeologists, philologists, and researchers visited the Kamenica Tumulus, showing strong interest in one of Albania’s most valuable archaeological monuments.

The visit included discussions on the site’s archaeological significance and how to interpret the data uncovered during excavations. Located about 15 km from Korça, the tumulus stands out as one of the most important prehistoric burial sites in the Balkans.

Experts observed burial chambers, skeletal remains, and a rich collection of artifacts. These included ceramics, weapons, and ornaments made of bronze, iron, silver, gold, amber, and bone.

The Kamenica Tumulus remains the largest of its kind discovered not only in Albania but across the region. Its earliest graves date back to the Late Bronze Age, around the 12th century BC.

The site remained active until the mid-6th century BC, marking an uninterrupted use of nearly 700 years.
