AQUAE CALIDAE – THERMA (TsonyaDrazheva, DimchoMomchilov – karnobat.muzey@mail.bg) The explorations of the church of the 11th – 13th centuries continued in Sondage No. 2 at 75 m to the northeast from the thermae. The western half of the narthex, 4.50 m wide, was discovered. Its walls were 1 m wide and built of ashlars bonded with mortar. Fragments from frescoes were found. Two later rooms of the 15th – 17th centuries were discovered, built in rubble masonry. Room No. 1 measured 3.20 m by 3 m and partly covered the earlier structures of the 11th – 13th centuries. Room No. 2 measured 5 m by 4.30 m and partly destroyed Graves Nos. 5 and 6 located in the narthex of the church. The explorations of the northern fortification wall built during the reign of Justinian I, according to the sources, began in Sondage No. 3 located at 50 m to the northeast. A section of the wall 17.50 m long was discovered. It was 2.40 m wide, preserved up to 2 m in height and built of ashlars bonded with mortar with an emplectum of roughly-cut stones bonded with mortar. The fortification wall functioned until the beginning of the 13th century, probably until the town was burned in 1206 by the crusaders of the Latin Empire of Constantinople during the reign of Henry of Flanders. Later on, small building were constructed in rubble masonry, adjacent to the southern side of the fortification wall. Part of a circular kiln, 1.80 m in diameter, was built over the wall. The finds from the excavations dated to the 6th – 13th centuries and included amphorae, pottery (proto-Bulgarian, painted white-clay and sgraffito), glass bracelets, bronze jewelry and bronze coins.
