This article presents a preliminary but interpretive analysis of selected depositional contexts identified during the 2023–2024 excavations of complex W4-01 at the site of Çuka Ajtoit in southern Albania. Although the study of the assemblage is still in progress, the combination of stratigraphic data, spatial patterning, and material culture allows for a contextual interpretation of the deposit as ritual in nature. Particular attention is devoted to the analysis of Hellenistic pottery and coroplastic material, focusing on the association between materials and advancing hypotheses on the possible use and provenance of the objects from a sacred area not yet recognized on the ground.

Abstract
This article presents a preliminary but interpretive analysis of selected depositional contexts identified during the 2023–2024 excavations of complex W4-01 at the site of Çuka Ajtoit in southern Albania. Although the study of the assemblage is still in progress, the combination of stratigraphic data, spatial patterning, and material culture allows for a contextual interpretation of the deposit as ritual in nature. Particular attention is devoted to the analysis of Hellenistic pottery and coroplastic material, focusing on the association between materials and advancing hypotheses on the possible use and provenance of the objects from a sacred area not yet recognized on the ground.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
