ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS NEAR THE VILLAGE OF KRASTEVICH (Mitko Madzharov – m_madjarov@abv.bg, Dimitrinka Tancheva) The archaeological explorations were carried out because of active clandestine activity. There were two clandestine digs on an area of c. 20 sq. m. Remains of walls built of roughly cut stones without a bonding medium were discovered within the excavations. The explorations showed the existence of a rectangular building. Thracian sherds were spread inside the clandestine digs and around them. In addition, two legs of a small terracotta cult table were found. The Thracian pottery from the excavations is typical of the 4th – 1st centuries BC. A few sherds of the Roman period (1st – 3rd centuries AD) were also found. Remains of walls on an area of c. 500 sq. m are visible nearby. According to the information of the local people, coins from the 4th century BC to the 3rd century AD were found there.
