ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS NEAR THE VILLAGE OF SINEMORETS (Daniela Agre – daniela.agre@abv.bg, Deyan Dichev) Pottery was found when the foundations of the building from the Ottoman period were dismantled. The entrance of the Hellenistic tower was documented under the building of the Ottoman period, filled with fragmentary plaster, probably fallen down from the ceiling between the first and the second floor of the tower. Sherds from amphorae, dishes and bowls of the Hellenistic period were found. Part of the surrounding wall and a perpendicular wall, adjoining its inner face, were discovered in trench Z 4. Fragments of terracotta figurines and sherds of the Hellenistic period were found. A pile of tegulae and imbrices and sherds of a dolium was explored in trenches E 3 – 4, to the east of the eastern wall of the tower and to the south of the surrounding wall. Part of the surrounding wall was discovered in trenches D 3 – 4 and G 3 – 4, to the northeast of the tower. The wall was constructed of roughly cut stones arranged in irregular courses with a bonding medium of smaller stones and mud. Sherds from amphorae of the Hellenistic period and fragmentary tegulae and imbrices were found. Tegulae and imbrices were found in trenches I 4 – 5, in the western part of the site, and part of the surrounding wall was discovered. The finds from the Ottoman period dated to the 18th – 19th centuries and included pottery, an Ottoman coin and iron nails. The finds from the Hellenistic period included sherds from amphorae, mostly from Kos, bowls and dishes (many of them with red, brown-black and brown gloss), tegulae and imbrices. The Hellenistic building dated from the beginning of the 3rd century BC onwards.
