On March 23 Gëzim Hoxha presented the topic: “Archaeological aspects of the Christianization in the late Antiquity: the Province of Praevalis”. This presentation opened interesting discussions on a field, chronologically very different from the previous seminars. The speaker provided a concise, but very informative overview of the data from the late Roman and early Medieval periods from the Praevalis Province. A great number of settlement and cemetery sites of the region were illustrated and put in a wider context. The data presentation was followed by the advance of a number of thought-provoking conclusions and generalizations for the whole Albania in the late Antiquity.
The presentation of this seminar encouraged many questions and discussions that enriched the evening. These discussions continued well after the formal seminar, when red wine from Permet stirred many more debates.
