[3] The central grave, which dates back to the Bronze Age (13th century BC) is surrounded by two large concentric circles unlike any other tumuli discovered in Albania.
[3] The tumulus grew further until the 7th century BC until it took an elliptical shape with dimensions of 70 m X 50 m.[3] During the excavation campaign more than 400 graves, 440 skeletons, and 3,500 archaeological objects were found.
[4][5] In 2007, a stone bridge and a protecting wall in the southern part were built, followed by a canal dug in order to drain the waters.
Of particular interest is the illustration of the surgery of a male cranium, performed in the 6th century BC, which shows the advanced medical knowledge of the community that lived in the area at that time.
[8] In addition, Albania's National Cultural Heritage Day on September 29 has been celebrated every year in the site.
