During recent decades, prehistoric research in Albania has witnessed a revival of archival studies as well as fieldwork, regarding foreign archaeological activity prior to the Second World War. Some of this research has proved very successful, providing a wealth of new information, while in other cases, it has been unfruitful. In the same context, research was initiated on the not fully published archaeological work of Eugène Pittard, a noted Swiss scholar and physical anthropologist. His fieldwork in 1921 represents an important contribution to the early research history of Albania with regards to prehistory.
