Summary (English)
APOLLONIA (Yavor Ivanov – iavor.ivanov@gmail.com, Dimitar Nedev) Archaeological structures were discovered during the construction of a drainage channel. Sherds, mostly from amphorae of the 5th – 4th centuries BC, were found. Four burials were explored in the necropolis of the 5th – 4th centuries BC. Grave No. 1 was with inhumation burial. The grave goods included an alabastron and a bronze strigil. The body was laid supine in Grave No. 2. A stone and a terracotta urn with cremated human bones were explored as well. Two terracotta pipes were discovered, one of them connected to a dolium of the 1st – 2nd century AD. Sherds from at least six vessels were found in the dolium. Probably, it was a cistern. A cremation burial of the 1st – 2nd century AD was explored. The burial pit was faced with stones and covered with a stone slab, which was a reused threshold of a monumental building. A bronze handle from an oinochoe showing a bust of Cybele or Hecate and a base of a column were found in the grave. Five inhumation burials of the 4th – 6th centuries AD were explored. Grave No. 1 was a cist containing one dead and re-buried bones from the skeleton of another dead. Grave No. 2 was a cist with a child’s burial. Early Byzantine inscriptions were documented on four of the ashlars. Two dead individuals were laid perpendicular in Grave No. 3, thus making a cross. Grave No. 6 was a cist containing six dead children.
