Summary (English)

  • ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS IN PAUTALIAVELBAZHDKYUSTENDIL (Rumen Spasov – rumenspassov@abv.bg) An area of 180 sq. m was explored. It is situated in the southeastern quarter of the fortified territory of Pautalia, between the Roman thermae and the southern fortification wall. Pits for garbage collection from the Revival period (late 18th – 19th centuries) were discovered. Parts of three mediaeval houses, eight pits for garbage collection and a burial, dated from the end of the 9th to the end of the 12th centuries, were explored. A layer containing materials of the 2nd century AD was documented in the northeastern part of the site. Two buildings, dated from the end of the 2nd to the third quarter of the 4th centuries AD, were discovered. Part of a room, measuring 5.70 m by 3.60 m, was explored in Building No. 1. Part of a room, measuring 5 m by 2.25 m, was explored in Building No. 2. The rooms were built of boulders and uneven stones bonded with mortar. In the first decades of the 4th century AD, a water conduit cut Building No. 1. Building No. 2 stopped functioning at the same time. Separate walls, situated in the peripheral parts of the site, date from the middle of the 4th to the middle of the 5th centuries AD.
