Kamenica Tumulus, Archaeological burial mound in Mollaj, Albania

Kamenica Tumulus is a burial mound at Kamenicë, 8 km from Korçë, with a central grave from the 13th century BC enclosed by two concentric stone circles 13 m in diameter. The mound grew to an ellipse of 70 m by 50 m. A wooden portico museum displays excavation panels and two replica graves.

The central grave dates to the 13th century BC and is enclosed by two concentric stone circles 13 m across, a layout not found at other Albanian tumuli. Some 40 graves were added in 1200–1050 BC and 200 more in 1050–750 BC. Between 625 and 540 BC dense stone burials extended the mound eastward into an ellipse of 70 m by 50 m.

The site hosts classical music concerts, and Albania's National Cultural Heritage Day has been marked here every 29 September. The wooden portico museum displays panels on the excavation and a drawing of a 6th-century BC skull operation, plus two replica graves holding the original remains.

The tumulus lies about 8 kilometres from Korçë, on the southern side of the Korçë Plain in the Kamenica hills. Visitors follow lime paths through green courtyards to the mound and the wooden portico museum. A stone bridge and a protecting wall stand in the southern part, and a drainage canal was dug beside the site.

Excavations uncovered a skeleton of a pregnant woman with her unborn child dating to around 3000 BC. This discovery offers rare insight into how families were treated in death during prehistoric times.
