Summary (English)
SEXAGINTA PRISTA (Varbin Varbanov – ramonearhaeology@abv.bg, Deyan Dragoev) The strata of the Thracian and the Roman periods, the Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages were almost entirely destroyed in Sondages I – II. Thracian ritual pit No. 92 was documented in Sondage I, containing animal bones and sherds of the 2nd century BC – 1st century AD. The finds from the sondages included a handle of an amphora from Sinope with a stamp dated to 228 – 223 BC, 38 coins (3 coins of the 2nd century AD, 3 coins of the 3rd century AD, 29 coins of the 4th – 5th centuries AD and 3 coins of the 6th century AD), a sherd from terra sigillata and tegulae with stamps. A Late Antique wall was discovered in Sondage III. It was 1.10 – 1.20 m wide, preserved up to 1.40 m in height and built of roughly-cut stones bonded with mortar. A layer with debris and traces from fire, c. 40 cm thick, was documented. The finds indicated that the fire occurred in the second half of the 6th century AD. A Late Antique pit was explored, containing a coin of Theodosius II. Sherds from pots of the 9th – 11th centuries were found.
