Dardana Fortress

Description

The Dardana Fortress is an archaeological site of the Bronze Age, Iron Age and late antiquity in present-day eastern Kosovo. It is located on a hill to the northwest of Kamenica. It was a hilltop settlement and fortress of the Dardani in classical antiquity and was rebuilt in the late Roman era as part of the fortification system in the Roman province of Dardania. The site was discovered in the 1970s, but excavations didn't start until 2012. Similar sites have been discovered in recent years in the Kamenica region. One of the very earliest finds, is a funerary stele found accidentally at the foot of the hill in 1992. Its interpretation has helped shed light to Illyrian burial customs. Excavations in the site have contributed to the knowledge about the trade patterns between Dardania and the Mediterranean region.
The earliest finds in the site date to the late Neolithic. They consist of two stones axes, fragments from a flint knife and a pierced stone hammer. These materials are considered to have brought to the site from another location. The first finds which are considered to have been originally in the site date to the Brone age and are mainly fragments of pottery.
