Summary (English)

  • The 2017 archaeological research and topographic survey of the Butrint Project, as per agreements with the Albanian colleagues of the Institute of Archeology of Tirana and the Butrint National Park, was aimed to a topographic and photogrammetric survey of different areas of the city, beginning with the wall circuit extending between the Hellenistic Bastion near the Lake Gate (the “Porta Scea”, as L. M. Ugolini called it) and the Lion Gate using Laser Scanning. The same wall section was also involved in a photographic survey, a preliminary reading of its phases and mapping of the deterioration.
    At the same time, new data concerning the Colombarium placed near the Lion Gate was collected, along with a preliminary reading of the masonry style and the identification of the main building phases.
    Two other areas of the city were involved in the topographic survey with a Laser Scanner: the wall segment close to the so-called Hellenistic House, the object of recent restorations, and the walls related to the Venetian fortifications in the upper city, whose state of conservation is considered critical from a structural and static point of view.
