The Komani-Kruje Culture in its entirety mapped out. Spanning from Late antiquity to the Early medieval it represents the resurgence of Albanians from Byzantine administration evident from its functionality independent from the Imperium and a need for reinforcement against the incursions of Avar / Slavic migrations seen by highly elevated settlements and forts. Although most archeological research has gotten to a steady halt in the past few years it clearly paints a picture that the first Albanian principality 'Arbanon' did not form from nothing but rather an already established settlement landscape with its own sub-economies with interconnected trade routes.
