From June 1st to 9th the Butrint Project team was briefly involved in field activities.

The first aim was the study of findings discovered over the past four years of excavations on the Acropolis of Butrint and during the fieldwalking surveys in fortified hilltop sites of ancient Chaonia. Spanning from the Bronze Age up to the late 1700s and including a wide variety of vessels, bronze and glass objects, coins, bricks, tiles, and even weapons, these all have an important role in understanding how people lived on the Acropolis over centuries.

The second aim was the structured-light 3D laser scanning of the Roman Imperial portraits in the Butrint museum. After the acquisition and post processing of data, we will be able to create 3D digital models useful both for research and for public accessibility of these cultural heritage.
