ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS IN PLISKA (Stoyan Vitlyanov – stoyan@shu-bg.net, Konstantin Konstantinov) The archaeological excavations of Site No. 41 situated in the northwestern part of the Outer Town of Pliska had begun in 1982 and had revealed the existence of an architectural complex of the 10th – 11th centuries. The present explorations were concentrated to the north and northeast of the pavement in the yard of the complex, discovered in 2006 – 2007. The finds include fragmentary bricks, mortar plaster, tegulae, imbrices, pottery, iron nails, hinges, hooks for doors and locking devices, probably related to the parallel farm rooms arranged in a line and situated to the north of the yard. The pavement situated to the east, parallel to the long northern wall of Building D located in the center of the complex, was discovered. According to the data from the explorations, there was a square paved with limestone uneven stones, situated in the central part of Site No. 41. The pavement and its extensions connected the buildings situated in the center of the complex with the parallel buildings arranged in a line in the periphery. The northern transverse wall of a shelter protecting an oven was documented in square 88. Iron nails were found. The southern face of Room No. 1 of Building A located in the northeastern corner of the complex was discovered. The wall was constructed in rubble masonry with a bonding medium of mud and was preserved up to 45 cm in height. Sherds, fragmentary roof tiles and bricks were found. A place for stirring mortar was explored in square 110. Probably, it was related to the building of the surrounding walls of the complex. The finds from the explorations include sherds of the 10th – 11th centuries, a bronze bracelet, a bronze finger-ring and an iron ox shoe.
