MESAMBRIA (Anelia Bozhkova – aneliabozkova@yahoo.com, Petya Kiyashkina) The site was thoroughly explored. Sherds and a small votive relief of the Thracian Horseman with Greek inscription dated to the Roman period were found. Two cellars of houses, c. 3 m by 2.20 m in size, were thoroughly explored. The cellar of the house in Trench E2/Zh2 contained sherds from pots, lekanai, cups, black-gloss kylikes and bowls, black-figure cups and amphorae, small Corinthian vessels, terracotta lamps, loom weights, terracotta figurines, fragments from sun-dried bricks and plaster from the structure of the house and from an oven that collapsed into the cellar. The cellar of the house in Trench A4 contained debris from the destroyed house, sherds from black-figure, black-gloss and Corinthian pottery and from amphorae, including from Lesbos, terracotta figurines, terracotta lamps and loom weights. Over 30 amphorae were discovered arranged upside down on the floor of the cellar, originating from Chios, Miletos and Thasos. The houses with the cellars were built in the first decades of the 5th century BC and were destroyed in the middle of the 5th century BC.
