The excavations of 2007 in the prehistoric site of Kalivo were undertaken to ascertain the dating and interpretation of the walls and interiors enclosures. Five test pit trenches were opened within the defended area: four on natural terraces along the southern flank and another on the hill summit. The trenches were dug through topsoil and homogeneous red-brown silts to bedrock at depths varying between 0, 40-1,10m. Significant assemblages of pottery were recovered which consisted in several examples of so-called “imitation of Corfiote ware”. Residues of bitumen, used inside pots as a sealant, were found, identifying these pots as storage vessels. Bitumen use is a signal characteristic of the southern Albanian Bronze-Iron Age transition. Hellenistic and early Roman wares, and a few possible terracotta figurine fragments, may lend weight to earlier hypotheses of a Hellenistic temple and other structures being located on the summit of Kalivo.
