Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Xarrë" in English language version.
It is important to note that during this period items for every day use of Mycenaean type have a rather wide distribution. The most important class of materials from these items are tools: the double axes and the one edge bronze kinfes of Mycenaean types (Fig. 3). Double axes are found at Xare, Butrint, Sarande, Qeparo, Lleshan, etc., while one edge knives are reported from Barc, Maliq, Pazhok, Kukes, Mat, Vajze.
A member of our team was from Greece, and he was able to engage in very friendly talks with the local population, which was Greek- and Albanian-speaking. Conversations with Orthodox locals gave us interesting information that was later on confirmed by the imam of the mosque to a large extent. All the inhabitants of Xarrë claimed to be descendants of families living there since the Middle Ages, originally from a nearby village, now disappeared. This place was called Zaropoula in eighteenth-century maps and Palaeospitia (Greek for 'Old Houses') by them. Our survey of this site and later archaeological work by Ilir Parangoni (2015) has shown that the village seems to have been abandoned during the late Ottoman period (eighteenth to nineteenth centuries CE in Albania). From that period there is a coexistence (and even intermarriages) between Muslims and Orthodox families in the village, although more Muslims arrived with the Çam immigrations.
