This paper will present a study of the landscapes surrounding Butrint (southern Albania) that addresses several themes related to hydraulic landscapes, including the relationship between politics and regional water management in a border area between Venetians (14th to 18th centuries) and Ottomans (19th to 20th centuries) and the development of different landscapes, local economies and settlement patterns related to these hydraulic landscapes in response to political changes. Evidence from archaeological activities undertaken in the area of Butrint shows how the material conditions of the landscape, and, in particular, the use of the hydraulic resources, changed between the 14th and 20th centuries.
