Summary (English)

  • ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS NEAR THE VILLAGE OF STRELKOVO (Georgi Atanasov – geoatal@abv.bg) Part of a wall was documented over the remains of the Thraco-Roman sanctuary. During the explorations, a single-nave church, 20.15 m long and 4.30 m wide, was discovered. The nave is 10.10 m long and the narthex is 6.15 m long. The walls were built of roughly cut stones bonded with mud and are 70 – 80 cm wide. Three courses of the wall were preserved up to 70 cm in height. The apse is 2.80 m in diameter. The finds include fragmentary iron nails and clamps, sherds of the 4th century AD, bricks, tegulae and imbrices. The church was built over the Thraco-Roman sanctuary, probably during the second half of the 4th century AD. Presumably, it was destroyed during the Barbarian invasions at the end of the 4th or the first half of the 5th century AD.
