Description

The Illyrian peoples were an important player on the Mediterranean stage, and now their legacy is being rewritten in part by new discoveries. Accidental finds made by local farmers include high-status burial items like coins, rare swords and perfume bottles, as well as everyday items like loom weights which tell the stories of everyday life and international trade connections. In this talk, Aisling Tierney and the Project Nivica team reveal their efforts to bring Illyria back to life by sharing their discoveries from the landscape and ruins of the Kurvelesh mountains.
