    Summary (English)

    • ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS NEAR THE VILLAGE OF KRASTEVICH (Mitko Madzharov – m_madjarov@abv.bg, Dimitrinka Tancheva) Room No. 1 in Building A and the area to the east of room No. 3 were explored. A hearth was discovered at 60 cm from the eschara. Its walls were constructed of uneven stones and sherds. The floor of the hearth was plastered with clay. Fragmentary burned plaster, fragments from imported Greek amphorae and loom weights were found. There is an ellipsoid pit to the north of the hearth. All these structures lie outside Building A. A pile of stones, containing sherds, fragments from Greek amphorae and a terracotta firedog with a stylized animal head, was explored at the eastern wall of Building A. The explorations in Building C were concentrated in its northeastern part. The northeastern corner of the building was unearthed. A stone threshold of a door was discovered on the southeastern wall. The walls are constructed of stones with a bonding medium of mud, with some sherds used at certain places, and are preserved up to 30 cm in height. A pile of stones was discovered close to the southeastern wall and fragments from amphorae and a brick were found. Pit K6, 1.20 m in diameter, was documented under the pile. Part of the interior of Building C was paved with stone slabs. Fragments from two terracotta firedogs with stylized animal heads, one of them showing a ram, were found close to the northeastern wall of the building. The finds include fragments from Greek amphorae, ceramic vessels, dolia, imported Greek black-gloss vessels, tiles, loom weights, spindle whorls, a small iron knife and a whetstone. The settlement existed from the first half of the 5th to mid 4th centuries BC.
