Summary (English)

  • DEULTUM (Krasimira Kostova – kr.kostova@mail.bg, Elka Docheva, Maria Manolova-Voikova) Sondage East was widened to the south inside the southeastern part of the thermae. A stratum of the 7th – 9th centuries AD was explored. The finds included an ox-shoe, sherds, including from amphorae of the Type 35 from Saraçhane, Istanbul, and from pots of the Pastoralist Type. At some places the stratum of the 7th – 9th centuries AD cut the levels with the fire of the middle of the 5th century AD dated by coins of Theodosius II and Valentinian III. The storage room with two construction periods was completely excavated. The finds included fragmentary amphorae of the Type LR 1 and LR 2, one of them containing carbonized grain, 60 terracotta loom weights, terracotta lamps, a pot, bone awls, iron tools, a bronze pan with an iron handle, two hoards of 174 bronze coins in total, minted by Theodosius I, Arcadius, Honorius and Theodosius II. The first construction period of the room dated to the end of the 4th – beginning of the 5th century AD, dated by coins of Valentinian II minted until AD 408. The second construction period ended with the fire of the middle of the 5th century AD dated by coins of Theodosius II and Valentinian III. The first construction level of the room was dug out at 60 cm beneath the level of the Late Antique junction of the eastern cardo and the decumanus. The pavement of the cardo of the 2nd century AD was discovered. In the Sector East – South 2, the foundation of a wall of the thermae was discovered and three coins of Constantine I, Valens and Arcadius were found.
