DEULTUM (Krasimira Kostova – kr.kostova@mail.bg) The excavations continued in Sector East, in the junction between the eastern cardo and the decumanus which adjoined the southeastern part of the thermae. The pavement of the cardo consisted of two rows of slabs. The western kerb was 25 cm wide, built of ashlars. Three water-conduits were discovered, constructed of terracotta pipes 47/50 cm long and 15 cm in diameter, bonded with mortar. Some of the pipes had openings that were closed with terracotta caps. Two of the water-conduits were built in the beginning of the 4th century AD, judging from a coin of Licinius. Two more water-conduits were discovered, built of terracotta pipes 40/42 cm long and 10 – 12 cm in diameter, bonded with mortar. The central drain built of stones bonded with mortar, was discovered on the junction between the eastern cardo and the decumanus. Sherds from amphorae of the types Zeest 64b, Dressel 24 and Peacock & Williams 10, and an as of Hadrian minted in AD 134 – 138 were found in the drain. Six water-conduits were documented, built of terracotta pipes. The building consisting of parallel shops arranged in a line was constructed in opus mixtum to the south of the decumanus. One shop was explored in 2016 and a layer with traces from fire was documented, dated by a coin of Constantius II. In 2017, another layer with traces from fire was documented beneath, dated by coins of Gordian III and Philip II, sherds from amphorae of the types Dressel 43, Peacock & Williams 10, and Kapitӓn II. The foundations of another building constructed of roughly-cut stones bonded with clay were documented beneath the shop; a fire was documented there and three coins were found (two of Trajan minted in AD 114 – 117 and one of Tiberius). The building with the shops was probably constructed in the 2nd century AD after the reign of Trajan.
