The walls were made of boulders assembled without cement, using the “Cyclopean” technique found in the ancient Greek kingdom of Mycenae.</p>

At the time the fortress was built, Illyrian kingdoms were active along the Adriatic Coast, while Greece was emerging from the ancient Dark Ages. Galaty’s team says it is not yet clear who may have lived there.</p>
