DEULTUM (Krasimira Kostova – kr.kostova@mail.bg, Elka Docheva, Maria Manolova-Voikova) A stratum of the second half of the 7th – 9th centuries AD was reached in the eastern part of Sondage East. Sherds were found, including from amphorae of Saraçhane, Istanbul Type 35. A warehouse was explored in front of the bastion of the Early Byzantine fortification wall. It was built after the construction of the fortification wall, i.e. after AD 450 – 475. Three dolia, seven amphorae of the Type LR 4 (Gaza), four amphorae of the Type LR 2, amphorae of the Type LR 1, pots, pitchers, bowls and a mortarium of the 5th – 6th centuries AD were found in the building. An occupation level of the end of the 4th – beginning of the 5th centuries AD was explored. It was burned during AD 400 – 425. Coins of Honorius and Theodosius II were terminus post quem for the occupation level. A layer was explored under the occupation level, containing fragmentary mortar, fragments from floor with hypocaust of the thermae, dark grey and white tesserae from floor mosaics in opus tessellatum. The small columns of the hypocaust were discovered, built of bricks bonded with mortar. The latest coins discovered were minted by Constantius II. The explorations of the latrina with marble floor continued. A house of the end of the 4th – first quarter of the 5th centuries AD was documented, burned during AD 400 – 425. Coins of Honorius and Theodosius II were a terminus post quem. The earliest street pavement of the first eastern cardo was built of ashlars in the 2nd century AD. A pile was explored, consisting of fragmentary pottery, terracotta lamps and amphorae of the 2nd – 3rd centuries AD, coins of Severus Alexander and Maximinus Thrax and Roman provincial bronze coins of Deultum. After a fire, which occurred probably during the Gothic invasion in the middle of the 3rd century AD, the street pavement was repaired. At the end of the 4th century AD, buildings were constructed over the earlier streets. A fire of AD 400 – 425 was documented.
