ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS IN PLISKA (Stoyan Vitlyanov – stoyan@shu-bg.net, Konstantin Konstantinov) The explorations were concentrated in the eastern part of site No. 41 in the Outer Town of Pliska, on the place where one of the rooms of building D was discovered in 2004. The cultural stratum inside the building interior contained stones of the collapsed walls and a mortar plaster from the floor level. Building D is 17.20 m in length and 5 m in width. It consists of three adjacent rooms arranged in a line from the west to the east. Room No. 1 lies in the western end and measures 5.70 m by 3.60 m, room No. 2 measures 3.10 m by 3.60 m and room No. 3 measures 5.75 m by 3.60 m. The foundations of the building lie down to 60 – 70 cm in depth. Building E was discovered at 2.50 m to the south of building D and has a П–like layout. Its wall is 80 cm in width and its construction is related to building D. However, both buildings were constructed in different periods. Building E is open to the south and measures 4.70 m by 3.50 m. A pavement of slabs was discovered in the western part of square No. 182, at 60 cm in depth. It measures 8.70 m by 0.80 m and lies in front of the façade of the monumental buildings located in the center of the architectural complex. Remains of a similar pavement of slabs were uncovered in front of the eastern façade of building B. The pavement extends alongside the eastern façade of building C and connects with the pavement in front of the façade of building B. Finds of the 10th – 11th centuries were discovered within building D and E and around them: weapons, objects related to daily activities, adornments of clothes, etc.
