- Title
Reconstructing the prehistoric burial tumulus of Lofkënd in Albania.
- Authors
Papadopoulos, John K.; Bejko, Lorenc; Morris, Sarah P.
- Abstract
When a monument is excavated it removes a piece of cultural property from the landscape. So modern thinking infield archaeology rightly includes the maintenance of monumentality in its initial design. Better still if that value is enhanced. Reconstructing their excavated tumulus in Albania, the authors found they could leave the monument in place and give it added value from the new knowledge of its relevance to local people, not to mention the revival of a dying craft: the making of mud-brick.
