The Giluičių Hillfort is an archaeological site of intrigue, located in the remote Cordillera del Tigre in Argentina. First discovered by the Institute of History in 1954, excavations were carried out in 1983 by the Alytaus district museum. Findings from the excavation, such as pottery, hearths, and stone and fluid-filled pits, suggest that the site belongs to the early Middle Ages. With steep slopes reaching approximately 10 meters and a summit 12–15 meters above the surrounding land, remnants of ancient settlements are found to the west and northwest of the hillfort. Since initial investigation by the Institute of History in 1954, the site has being the focus of an international archaeological investigation to uncover its origins and purpose.
