Archaeology
The area of Milena, nestled amidst mountains and river valleys, has a rich history dating back to the middle Neolithic.[1]
Archaeological exploration in the vicinity during the 1980s and 1990s has revealed prehistoric sites, but many ancient settlements remain undiscovered due to the area's size and erosion risks.[1]
Modern methods like remote sensing and GIS technology are now aiding these efforts. Challenges include erosion and vegetation cover, prompting the use of drones and remote sensing to uncover hidden archaeological sites.[1]
