New prehistoric discoveries in Thrace Vassil Nikolov Institute of Archaeology with Museum Bulgarian Academy of Sciences 2 Saborna St., BG-1000 Sofia Tel./Fax: (00359 2) 988 24 05 E-mail: vnikolov@dreambg.com Abstract Despite for the last few years the excavations of prehistoric sites in Bulgaria have not been so intensive, they yielded essential new data. In my presentation I will show some important results of newly discovered settlements and tumuli from Upper Thracian valley dating back to the Neolithic, Copper Age and Early Bronze Age (the end of the seventh to the end of the third millennium cal BC) including: Tell Karanovo, near Nova Zagora. A two-story house from Late Neolithic and the excavations of the Early Bronze Age layer; Tell Kapitan Dimitrievo, near Peshtera. A house with a ritual pit, Early Neolithic and a two-story house, Late Neolithic; Tell Krun, near Kazanlak. A Late Neolithic site. A large house from Early Bronze Age; The Neolithic site at Lyubimets. Selected pottery, figurines, and specific ritual artifacts; The Neolithic site at Rupkite, near Chirpan. Buildings and selected pottery, Late Neolithic; The Neolithic site at Vratitsa, near Aytos. Buildings and pottery, Late Neolithic; Tell Yunatsite, near Pazardzhik. Buildings, Late Copper Age; Northern Thrace. A destroyed cemetery with golden artifacts, Early Bronze Age; The tumulus near Drazhevo, Yambol area. Early Bronze Age; Tumuli in the Maritsa-Iztok power plant complex, Early Bronze Age. Comment: In this abstract submitted by Vassil Nikolov the Early Brozne Age cemetery discovered near Dubene is mentioned as Northern Thrace. It is in fact the cemetery of the population of Dubene-Sarovka, a settlement excavated since 1992 by the host in Salt Lake City (see also Asking for your opinion). |
