Summary (English)

  • AGATHOPOLIS (Pavlina Devlova – devlova@newobjects.com) Three pottery kilns and five Christian burials were discovered in the northeastern part of the site. The bodies in Graves Nos. 2 – 5 were laid in the pottery kilns. There are grave goods in two of the burials: a bronze coin of the 4th century AD and a bone spindle whorl in Grave No. 1 and a bronze earring in Grave No. 4. The anthropological analysis shows that a child c. seven years old was buried in Grave No. 1, a woman 44 – 50 years old in Grave No. 2, two children 10 years and 12 years old in Graves Nos. 3 and 4. The strata contained finds from the 2nd century AD to the 14th century, mainly sherds, including from amphorae, but also tools, jewelry, weights for fishing nets, arrowheads, a bronze cross for a polycandelon of the 6th century AD, 88 coins of the 2nd – 6th centuries AD, a silver grosso of the Bulgarian King Ivan Alexander.
