Petrika Lera, Stavros Oikonomidis, Aris Papayiannis, Akis Tsonos "The Greek - Albanian Archaeological project on Maligrad: shaping the cultural heritage in the Tri - National zone of the Great Prespa Lake" (original) (raw)

The paper explores the social and reconciliatory potential of archaeology through a case study of the Greek-Albanian archaeological project at Maligrad, located in the tri-national area of the Great Prespa Lake. It highlights the transformative impact of archaeology in fostering mutual understanding between local communities and foreign archaeological teams amidst a backdrop of historical tensions. By emphasizing participatory approaches, the authors contend that collaborative archaeological endeavors can promote cultural heritage management and serve as a platform for dialogue and reconciliation in politically sensitive regions.
