ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS NEAR THE VILLAGE OF BOZDUGANOVO (Krasimir Nikov – k_nikov29@yahoo.com, Plamen Karailiev, Andrei Stoitsov) The archaeological materials (sherds, animal bones and fragmentary clay wall plaster) were found in the level above the bedrock. Two houses or farm buildings (Nos. 2 and 6) were discovered. They had an oval layout, 3 – 4 m in length, and were dug out at 35 – 70 cm in the bedrock. A pit, probably for storage, was explored in the central part of building No. 2 and there were postholes along its periphery. Sherds, animal bones, ash, charcoal and fragments of burned clay were found in the buildings. Pits with different shapes (conical, biconical, cylindrical and hemispherical) were explored. They were 0.70 – 1.20 m in diameter and 0.40 – 2.50 m in depth. The pits contained sherds, fragmentary clay wall plaster, ash, charcoal and animal bones. Judging from the pottery, the site dated after 475 – 450 BC.
