Boka e Përçevës<br />
The Boka e Përçevës tumulus necropolis is situated few kilometers<br />
up northwest from the Gllareva necropolis. This grouped tumulus<br />
burial is dated in Late Bronze and Early Iron Period, and is very characteristic<br />
for the huge number <strong>of</strong> the dispersed burial mounds within<br />
a wider complex area. In total, 19 burial mounds were detected so<br />
wheras, among them; only seven were excavated and researched during<br />
the seventies <strong>of</strong> the last century.<br />
The rich and abundant archaeological material in the form <strong>of</strong><br />
grave goods were discovered here, whereas, tooled weapons, different<br />
decorations and diverse qualitative vessels and earth ware pots, all together<br />
clearly reflect the undisputed facts <strong>of</strong> the remains <strong>of</strong> a advanced<br />
indigenous Dardanian civilization.<br />
