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 II discusses the finds from the Vrina Plain
excavations. This volume provides an insight into how the Vrina
Plain community lived, worked and ultimately died and includes
chapters on the medieval and post-medieval ceramics from the
excavations, analysis of the human and faunal remains,
environmental evidence, Roman and Medieval coins, a detailed study
of the small finds as well as a discussion of the glass including a
report on a number of glass cakes, ingots of raw glass associated
with glass working that were found during the excavations. The
volume also reports on five lead seals dating from the late 9th to
the 10th century, an uncommon find but one which when considered
with the contemporary coins suggests that for 100 years the Vrina
Plain was Butrint.
