ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS IN KABIYUK (Stanislav Ivanov – stanislavivanovarh@gmail.com, Tihomir Tihov, Gergana Ilieva) A sector to the south of the Pagan Temple was explored. Eighteen postholes were discovered. They were up to 2.10 m deep and accommodated monumental square wooden posts up to 90 cm by 85 cm in size, or round wooden posts up to 50 cm in diameter. The postholes belonged to a timber building, probably the one that preceded the Pagan Temple built in the first half of the 9th century AD.
