ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS IN KABIYUK (Stanislav Ivanov – stanislavivanovarh@gmail.com, Tihomir Tihov) The proto-Bulgarian camp, situated at c. 15 km to the southwest of Pliska, was protected with a rampart and covered an area of 530 ha. Postholes and trenches of the timber structure of the pagan temple were explored. Its debris was also discovered: stones, pieces of mortar, a fragment from a marble cornice, fragmentary marble tiles, bricks and roof-tiles (mostly tegulae). Semi-prepared stone spindle whorls and sherds were found. Three postholes were explored; they accommodated monumental square timber pillars c. 40 cm by 40 cm in size that belonged to the timber structure of a building, which probably preceded the pagan temple and was situated to the south close to it. Other postholes from the same building were documented as well.
