Other Comments

  • Did the landscape of southern Albania conform to a pattern of the loss of small peasant sites in the early Roman period and a preponderance of larger nucleated sites that continued throughout the classical age? Were the circimstances at Butrint affected by its situation, surrounded on its south side by wetlands? Did the morphology of the settlement alter just as the dwellings within Butrint itself underwent transformation? What happened to rural settlement as the Goths and Slavs menaced the coastal area in the 5th and 6th centuries?
