"We can conclude that around 5,000 years ago, the center of an until now unknown civilization was here and it exported processed gold in central Europe, the Balkan peninsula and Anatolia on a massive scale," he told Reuters Thursday. Similar gold pieces had been found in other countries and they were assumed to have come from ancient Troy, but it now appeared the production center was in Bulgaria, he added.
Comment: We don't know who produced the gold objects from Dubene for the time being. In the third millennium in Anatolia flourished goldsmith industry and it was exported even to Assyria. In the Balkans we have for the time being finds from several sites such as:
Dubene-cemetery EB II-III (the third millennium cal BCE)
Yunatsite (one piece of adornment)
Northeat Thrace (mostly unpublished from tumuli graves)
Lovech grave, EB II (diadem and adornments), electron.
Goran-Slatina (adornments)
Turnava (adornments)
Rupite, etc.
Most of the adornments come from tumuli graves related to the Pit Grave Culture who were nomads and had mobile subsistence economy. For the time being, we believe that they exchange their stock for jewellery.
In the case of Dubene, we have evidence for bronze metallurgy.
Two important moments for our present and future research should be noticed: electron relate the diadem from Lovech to Anatolia. The lead bronze of Dubene-village also relate the bronze metallurgy to Anatolia.
It seems like the gold objects in the Balkans came from Anatolia. The local hypothesis cannot be excluded but needs to be improved by chemical and resource analysis.
