Kosovo has a rich heritage in archaeology, however the field suffers from a lack of substantial institutional research. Since prehistory, the advantageous geostrategic position and abundant natural resources of the area have been suitable for the emergence of life. This is shown by the traces of hundreds of archaeological sites discovered throughout the country, displaying the abundant archaeological legacy.
The entire archaeological activity of Kosovo begins after the establishment of the Museum of Kosovo in 1949. By the end of the nineteenth century, the first scientific data on the archaeological heritage had been published, because of the efforts of researchers A. Evans and F. Kanitz. Since then, the research on the archaeology of Kosovo has been included in the Encyclopedia of Global Archaeology.
It is suggested by many international archaeologists, that the Municipality of Ferizaj is to be counted as one among the locations that have high-value archeological assets.
