ST. MARY MAGDALENE MONASTERY (Snezhana Goryanova – sgoryanova@gmail.com) Nine Christian burials were explored in the Mediaeval cemetery to the north of the Early Christian basilica. The deceased were one man, 40 – 50 years old, five women: two 16 – 18 years old, one 25 – 35 years old and one 40 – 50 years old, three children between 2 and 14 years old. The anthropological analysis showed cribra orbitalia among the children, indicating anemia. The cemetery dated from the 1220s – 1230s to the 16th – 17th century. Two silver Ottoman coins, pierced to be used as ornaments, a bronze earring and a bronze finger-ring were found on the surrounding terrain.
