A large settlement site of the Neolithic, Copper Age and Bronze Age, located in the upland Korge basin in south central Albania. A four-metre stratigraphy contained four major occupation horizons: I, two late Neolithic building levels with rectangular houses with reed on plaster floors set on timber beams, associated with rich painted pottery; II, two building levels associated with late Copper Age material, the first a pile-dwelling on top of lacustrine sediments, the second a set of rectangular houses on clay floors. Incised and channelled ware is found. IllA-IIIB represent two Early Bronze Age building levels, IIIC-D a Middle and a Late Bronze Age building level. The Maliq stratigraphy provides the clearest prehistoric sequence yet available from Albania.
