Summary (English)

  • PLISKA (Stoyan Vitlyanov – stoyan@shu-bg.net, Konstantin Konstantinov) Site No. 41 was an architectural complex of buildings consisting of parallel rooms arranged in lines and situated along the inner periphery of a yard surrounded with stone wall. The complex dated to the end of the 9th – first decades of the 11th centuries and covered an area of c. 1.5 ha located in the northwestern part of the Outer Town of Pliska. The exploration of the building consisting of parallel rooms arranged in a line continued in the southern part of the complex. Building G was discovered. Its walls were constructed of stones bonded with mud and were 60 cm wide. The finds comprised sherds, a terracotta spindle whorl, a lead weight, a bronze coin of Gordian III, an iron knife and a bronze finger-ring. A stratum containing proto-Bulgarian sherds and animal bones was documented under Building G. A path paved with stone slabs, 1 m wide, parallel to Building G and situated at 2.25 m to the south, was explored.
