Summary (English)

  • AUGUSTA TRAIANA (Georgi Iliev – alhio@mail.bg) The site was situated in the northern part of Augusta Traiana. In 2009, four occupation periods were documented. Period I: the 2nd – 3rd centuries AD. Parts of a building were discovered, which was demolished in the middle of the 3rd century AD. Period II: the 4th – 6th centuries AD. In the middle of the 4th century AD a building was constructed of roughly cut stones bonded with mortar, 23.05 m long. A pool was discovered in its southeastern corner. Two rooms were discovered in the northern part of the building, the western one with polychromic floor mosaics. The building existed until the beginning of the 7th century AD. Subsequently, it was reconstructed and modified. Period III: the 12th – 14th centuries. Several pits containing sherds were explored. Period IV: the 15th – 19th centuries. A building was constructed during 18th – 19th century. The explorations continued in 2010. A wall of the 18th – 19th century was discovered, built over an earlier wall of the 4th – 6th century AD. The finds included Late Antique sherds of bowls and cups, and a bottom of a red-gloss vessel with a partly preserved graffito that reads: ΩΛΟΠΑ.
