The Swedish NGO Cultural Heritage without Borders (CHwB) runs a programme ‘Preservation and Development Plan for the Historic Zone of Prizren’. The programme is based on an integrated conservation process and is aimed at enhancing sustainable urban development, which includes social, cultural, economical, and education development. The programme uses a participatory approach, involving the community and all relevant stakeholders. Archaeological finds suggest that the Historic Zone of Prizren has been inhabited for c. 2000 years or more. Building works such as building foundations, road improvements and pipe or cable trenches can disturb archaeological layers underneath the present ground surface. An integrated approach to the cultural heritage of Prizren therefore requires an archaeological component which deals with the protection and the enhancement of the archaeological heritage. Therefore, CHwB commissioned a freelance archaeologist, Dr. Birte Brugmann, to liaise with the relevant Kosovan institutions for an archaeological component of the Programme.
