    The mosaics with irregular tesserae in Albania (3rd - 1st century BC)
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2014) Omari, Elda
    This research is a small part of my PhD project, a comprehensive study focused on the cataloguing and the analysis of all the mosaics and floor decorations found in modern Albania. To date, 43 sites with 265 prestige pavements (tessellatum, irregular tesserae, opus sectile, caementicium etc.) have been found in Albanin territory. From five of these sites come our examples: 10 floor decorations were made with the irregular tesserae technique and are likely to date back to the period between the 3rd and the 1st century BC. The goal of this research is to carry out a critical analysis of the motive decorations of the mosaics with irregular tesserae in Albania from 3rd to 1st century BC.
