Summary (English)

  • ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS NEAR THE VILLAGE OF DOSITEEVO (Borislav Borislavov – b_borislavov@hotmail.com) Clandestine digs were documented on the site. The most serious damage occurred on the southeastern slope. In 2005 – 2006, four ritual pits from the end of the Early Iron Age were explored on that place. The earth excavated from the treasure-hunters contained sherds and animal bones. The explorations in Sondage III, Sector 2 and Sector 3 continued. Six Late Bronze Age layers of a ritual platform and two layers from the transition period to the Early Iron Age were identified. The separate trampled layers are 7 – 8 cm thick. An area with a pile of sherds mixed with animal bones was discovered. These are remains from sacrifices, typical of the cult site. A terracotta loom weight was found on the top of the sanctuary, in the central profile and in the stratum from the Hellenistic period.
