227 Remains of the fortified settlement of Iron Age and Late Antique/Early Medieval ‘Gradishta’ of Zatriq, is sited on top of the Zatriq hill, with the highest altitude of 1039 meters above the sea level. This ‘fortified town’ of a multilayer settlement type, was erected in a perimeter line which follows the terrain contour; location chosen which is naturally protected and integrated with the man made constructed protection system. Traces of the fragmented pottery have been found in the entire fortified area, as well at the “Arat e Gradishtës” (Gradishta fields) found at the terraced plateaus nearby the fortress. Earthen ware fragmented dishes, of different dates have been found here, like: Iron Age, Hellenistic Period, Late Antique, and Medievall. Nonetheless, this archaeological center, respectively, characteristic fortification site, is unique, where an Italian specialist for the ancient rock art studies, has identified symbols and signs that were evaluated to be a creation of the humans before at least 7 millenniums.
