THE THRACIAN RESIDENCE ON KOZI GRAMADI PEAK (Ivan Hristov – ivchristov70@abv.bg) The site is surrounded with fortification wall and has an area of 0.045 ha with trapezoid layout. Foundations of rectangular tower at the outside part of the fortification wall are situated in the northeastern corner. A building, partly destroyed by clandestine digs, was explored in the center of the fortification. The building has an area of 104 sq. m and measures 8.30 m by 12.50 m. Its wall is 90 cm in width and has foundations of one course of stones at 57 cm in depth. The wall has two faces of ashlars with drafted margins, 1.10 – 1.40 m in length, 44 cm in height and 30 cm in width, stuck with leaded iron clamps, with a core structure of small stones and sand. The wall is preserved up to 1.96 m in height. The building has an entrance from the southeast, 1.68 m in width with jambs decorated with vertical strips in relief. Two bases are situated in front of the entrance. The stone threshold has a socket for door axle. The floor is situated 23 cm below the threshold of the entrance and consists of broken tiles plastered with clay. An entrance, 1.04 m in width, is situated at the northeastern wall. A staircase with six steps leading to a platform follows. The roof of the building consisted of tegulae and imbrices. An iron labrys, a bronze coin of Philip of Macedon, a bronze coin of the mid 4th century BC minted by the Odrysian King Teres II, a silver coin of the Thracian Chersonessus, sherds of Thracian pottery, a lead sling shot inscribed with two letters – AN, a bottom of an amphora and fragments of black-gloss pottery were found on the floor. Presumably, the building was destroyed during the military campaigns of Philip of Macedon in Thrace in the 340s BC. The fortified site was a Thracian tyrsis or royal residence.
