Summary (English)
DRASTAR (Boyan Ivanov – b_totev@abv.bg) Part of the proto-Bulgarian pagan temple discovered in 2007 was explored. The temple consisted of two square rooms, the smaller one situated inside the larger. In 2015, the foundations of the outer western wall and the inner northeastern corner were discovered. The ashlars of the walls were arranged over two layers of mortar plastered over wooden posts driven into the ground. The foundation of the outer wall was 1 – 1.10 m wide and the foundation of the inner wall was c. 1.30 m wide. The distance between both walls was c. 4 m. The floor was plastered with mortar. The temple was situated in the centre of the proto-Bulgarian aul and close to the remains of the Early Byzantine basilica. During rescue excavations in the past, three altars were discovered nearby, probably originating from the interior of the pagan temple. A dugout of the 10th century and buildings constructed of stones of the Middle Byzantine period were discovered over the foundations of the temple. The finds included three pots, a glazed jug, anonymous Byzantine folles and four lead seals of the second half of the 11th century.
