Butrint 6 describes the excavations carried out on the Vrina Plain
by the Butrint Foundation from 2002–2007. Lying just to the south
of the ancient port city of Butrint, these excavations have
revealed a 1,300 year long story of a changing community that began
in the 1st century AD, one which not only played its part in
shaping the city of Butrint but also in how the city interacted and
at times reacted to the changing political, economic and cultural
situations occurring across the Mediterranean World over this
period. Volume I discusses the results from the excavations,
tracing the development of the area from an early Roman bridgehead
suburb during the 1st and 2nd centuries AD to a major 3rd-century
domus, one of the largest of its kind in the province of Epirus
Vetus, its transformation into a new residential centre dominated
by a Christian basilica in Late Antiquity, to becoming the home of
a Byzantine archon during the 9th and 10th centuries when it was,
in all but name, Butrint, and its subsequent uses following its
abandonment due to the rising water table. This is followed by a
description of the domus mosaics and a detailed examination of the
basilica mosaics, analysing the imagery, meaning and context of
this intricate and detailed pavement, together with discussions of
the Vrina Plain and its place within the story of Butrint and the
wider Mediterranean World during the Roman and Byzantine periods.
