    • ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS NEAR BURGAS (Martin Giuzelev – martingiuzelev@abv.bg, Konstantin Gospodinov, Todor Marvakov) The sanctuary was located on a hill. Eight sondages were carried out. The finds included fragments from sun-dried bricks, tegulae, imbrices and sherds, including from amphorae. Amphora stamps from Rhodes and Knidos (Zenon B Group) and sherds from kantharos-like kylikes dated to the end of the 3rd – 2nd centuries BC were found as well. The letter T (tau) was written with a finger on three roof-tiles before they were fired. Part of the sherds from amphorae, dishes and red-gloss jugs dated to the Roman period. A bronze coin and a bronze fibula of the Roman period were found as well. A fragment from a marble inscription in two lines that reads: ОСА / СТО was discovered. It dated to the end of the 1st – 2nd century AD. The temenos was probably surrounded with a peribolos constructed of roughly-cut dry stones. Sherds from amphorae and fragments from building ceramics of the Middle Ages were found as well.
