ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS NEAR KABLESHKOVO (Petya Georgieva – petyageorg@gmail.com) A clandestine excavation was recorded. It cut two Early Chalcolithic (first half of the 5th millennium BC) layers with traces from fire. Pottery was found, including sherds decorated with stamping and with incised decoration. A trench, 5 m by 10 m, was carried out in sector No. 1. A burned plastered floor of the Early Bronze Age (3500 – 1900 BC) was reached at 35 – 40 cm in depth. Sherds were found. Pits, which were dug after the Early Bronze Age, were explored. The pits reached the Late Chalcolithic (second half of the 5th millennium BC) layer and partly destroyed it. The pits contained stones heaped on their bottoms, Early Bronze Age and Late Chalcolithic pottery, stone, flint and bone tools and chips from their production, stone pestles with traces from red ochre and two pieces of red ochre cast in cylindrical moulds. Probably a workshop existed there and was destroyed by the pits. A copper or bronze dagger was found out of a context in the northern part of the trench. The exploration of the Late Chalcolithic layer with traces from fire continued in sector 2. The continuation of the ancient wall discovered during the previous archaeological seasons was discovered. A layer of the Early Bronze Age was registered. It lies between a layer of the Early Bronze Age III and the upper layer of the Late Chalcolithic period. A small quantity of pottery was found in the newly discovered Early Bronze Age layer. A Late Chalcolithic layer with traces from fire was explored on an area of 2.50 sq. m. This is the extension of the building that was explored in 2006. The layer contained massive burned destructions. Ceramic vessels, bone adornments and anthropomorphic terracotta figurines were found under the layer with destructions. Parts of two stone walls were explored under the destructions of clay walls. The stone walls belonged to the foundations of the building.
