Summary (English)
TARNOVO (Konstantin Totev – konstantin_totev@abv.bg, Evgeni Dermendzhiev, Plamen Karailiev) An area of 70 sq. m was explored to the south of the Mediaeval church that was transformed into baths during the Ottoman period. Layers containing mixed Thracian, Early Byzantine and Mediaeval sherds and fragmentary roof-tiles were documented. The layers were spread in the 13th century to level the terrain. Two burials of a child and an adult, belonging to the cemetery of the 16th – 17th centuries, were discovered near the Mediaeval church that was transformed into baths. So far, almost 80 graves were explored in that cemetery. The finds from the excavations included a copper coin, sherds from sgraffito bowls with graffiti, terracotta tobacco pipes and a stone mould.
