APOLLONIA (Kalina Petkova – kalina.petkova@gmail.com, Dimitar Nedev) Thirty graves were discovered over an area of 700 sq. m. Eleven graves were burial pits and 17 graves were chambers dug into the bedrock, seven of them (Graves Nos. 6, 7, 8, 12, 16, 25, 27) covered with ashlars. Grave No. 5 was a cist constructed of ashlars and Grave No. 21 was covered with roof-tiles. The burial ritual was inhumation and the dead were laid on their back with heads to the southeast. The hands and the feet of the dead in Grave No. 15 were tied together and part of iron chains was found around the left ankle. Graves Nos. 22 and 30 were cenotaphs. The grave goods included lekythoi, unguentaria, jugs, oinochoai and small black-gloss bowls. Bronze strigils were found in three graves (Nos. 5, 24, 27). Two bronze fibulae of the Thracian Type and a bronze pin were found in Grave No. 3. Bronze coins of Apollonia were found in Graves Nos. 6 and 8. Five periboloi surrounding a single grave or a group of graves, a ritual hearth and two piles of stones were discovered as well. Peribolos 2 surrounded Grave No. 22 and was constructed of stones and amphorae, mainly from Thasos and Heraclea Pontica dated to c. 350 BC. A ritual hearth was discovered close to Peribolos 3 and it contained fragmentary black-gloss ichthyai, a bowl, a terracotta grill for fish, a bronze plate and an iron spearhead. Pile 2 was discovered to the northeast of Grave No. 27. Neolithic stone tools and sherds from amphorae, including from Thasos of the beginning of the 3rd century BC, were found among the roughly-cut stones of the pile. Two fragmentary amphorae from Heraclea Pontica and a jug were discovered under the pile. The graves dated from 375 – 350 BC to the beginning of the 3rd century BC.
