The Kamenica Tumulus ((アルバニア語:Tuma e Kamenicës)) is an important archaeological site in Kamenicë, Korçë District, Albania. The site includes a museum dedicated to the prehistory of Albania and of the surrounding region. ==History of the Tumulus Excavation== The tumulus is located in the side of the Kamenica hills in the southern side of the Korçë Plain, at from Korçë.〔Gregollari p.4〕 Looters heavily damaged the site during the 1997-1999 period following the 1997 rebellion in Albania,〔 which was followed by an interdisciplinary work performed in the 2000-2002 period by the Albanian Institute of Archaeology, the Albanian Rescue Archaeology Unit, and the Museum of Korçë and aimed at excavation campaigns.〔 The end of the excavations showed that the Tumulus of Kamenica represents the largest burial monument of its kind in relation to 200 tumuli excavated in Albania and neighboring Balkan countries.〔Gregollari p.5〕 The central grave, which dates back to the Bronze Age (13th century BC) is surrounded by two large concentric circles unlike any other tumuli discovered in Albania.〔 The tumulus grew to 40 graves in the Late Bronze Age (1200-1050 BC) and to 200 in the Early Iron Age (1050-750 BC).〔 The tumulus grew further until the 7th century BC until it took an elliptical shape with dimensions of 70 m X 50 m.〔 During the excavation campaign more than 400 graves, 440 skeletons, and 3,500 archaeological objects were found.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kamenica Tumulus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
