This short paper presents an overview of the methodology, fieldwork and activities of the FortNet Project, a joint collaborative effort of the University of Bologna and Sapienza University of Rome. Aiming to fill gaps in the research of hill-fort settlements in southern Albania, the project utilises cutting-edge methodologies to investigate settlement patterns, construction techniques, and material culture from the Bronze Age to the medieval period. Through non-invasive techniques and the development of a shared geo-database, FortNet contributes to the preservation and sustainable development of the region’s cultural heritage while fostering public engagement and academic exchange.
