Summary (English)

  • PRESLAV (Zhivko Aladzhov – naim@naim.bg) The sector of the street leading to the east and the adjacent building consisting of parallel rooms arranged in a line, 52.60 m by 7.55 m in size, were explored. The southern end of the eastern wall of the building had a foundation 1.60 – 1.70 m wide. Rectangular pads for the foundations of an outer staircase that led to the second floor were documented to the east of the eastern wall. A water-conduit and a drain were discovered in the building. Seven midden pits and three Christian burials of children were explored, dug out into the debris of the building. The building was probably synchronous to the first occupation period of the baths situated to the west. The building existed from the middle of the 10th to the middle of the 11th century when it was destroyed and the building material was robbed and reused. The finds included pottery of the 10th – 13th centuries, a gold solidus of Romanos I Lekapenos and Christopher Lekapenos minted in AD 931, a bronze seal with an image and a small gold plate showing a water bird in cloisonné enamel.
