History from Gushica in Vitia: this well in the middle of Goshica was found by an Albanian after 2,400 years, where there once was a garrison (or fortification) of the ancient Pelasgians.
Gushica and the entire Viti area are part of an area with important ancient sites, such as settlements from the Neolithic period and Late Antiquity in the surrounding villages (Budrika, Vërban) . The discovery of a jar (pitos) is important evidence of early human activity in these areas.
The large jars in these territories most likely belong to the Antique Period (centuries BC to the Roman/Dardan period). These vessels were usually used to store cereals, wine, oil or were used for large jar burials (characteristic of the prehistoric period).To give a precise historical and archaeological understanding to the discovery in Gusica, experts rely on several other traces.
The main elements of these discoveries:
Dating:
Clay vessels (jars) without specific inscriptions or grave inventory are usually estimated by the technique of earthenware. 2400 years ago corresponds to the 4th century BC (4th century BC) , a period when the Dardanian Kingdom flourished in these lands .
Fortifications (“gradinat”)
In many hills of Kosovo and the region, traces of old fortifications often date from Late Antiquity (Byzantine/Roman period) or the Middle Ages, when these sites were used as observation posts (castles).
Residential context
These territories have been continuously inhabited. The pits between the villages may be part of an old rural settlement, as villages were usually established where there were living conditions, water, and protection from the hills.
