Summary (English)

  • AGATHOPOLIS (Andrei Aladzhov – alajov@gmail.com, Stanimir Stoichev) The excavations continued to the south of the northern fortification wall. Two graves were discovered in the late Christian cemetery of the end of the 19th century. In trench K3, a hoard was found on the bottom of a dolium, containing 896 coins, four belt appliqués and two pieces of jewelry of the end of the 18th century, placed in a small textile bag. The coins were mostly Ottoman silver and a few gold coins of the mid 18th century, and also some West European silver coins, most of them pierced. A stratum, 5 – 15 cm thick, was discovered, containing Hellenistic and Roman sherds and coins.
