Archaeology in the 21st Century: ICAA 1999-2007 is the latest publication by the ICAA. It details the achievements of the Centre since its foundation in 1999 and gives an overview of the extensive project work the ICAA teams have undertaken in that time. Drawing together highlights from all of the Centre’s Packard Humanities Institute-funded projects, the book reviews the work of the researchers in the ICAA, the Albanian Rescue Archaeology Unit, the Cultural Heritage Unit and the Gjirokastra Conservation and Development Organisation. It describes the successful student training programmes that have created a new generation of Albanian archaeologists, as well as the network of partnerships forged with overseas universities. In particular, successes such as the opening of the Kamenice Tumulus heritage site are discussed as well as the extensive programme of surveys and excavations undertaken in and around Durrës that have saved valuable parts of the city’s threatened archaeological record from destruction. The review is forward looking and it is hoped that the ICAA will strengthen its role as a key institution in Albania.

As from January 2008 FoAP and ICAA, have been closely engaged with FASTI online project, which is a web – based GIS database that contains basic records of the European excavations since 2000. Albania is now incorporated in the FASTI programme and will have its own space on the FASTI website to publish the recent results of the archaeological excavations undertaken in the country.
