ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS IN PRESLAV (Zhivko Aladzhov, Yavor Vasilev – ivor@mail.bg) An area of 100 sq. m was explored. It was found that the street and the flanking building consisting of parallel rooms arranged in a line continued to the south. The façade of the building was oriented to the east and there was a timber porch in front of it. Three stone bases of wooden posts, 8 – 10 cm in diameter, which supported the porch, were discovered. The bases were situated at 3.50 m in front of the façade and at 5 m from each other. The finds included sherds of the 10th – 14th centuries, iron nails and cotters, glass bracelets and fragments of glass windows. A bronze coin of Lysimachus was found under the stone pavement. Probably, it testified to occupation in the Hellenistic period in that part of mediaeval Preslav.
