PLISKA (Yanko Dimitrov – yanko_aim@mail.bg, Stanislav Ivanov) The explorations continued in the eastern part of the Citadel, in the sector located to the east of the Small Pagan Temple and to the southwest of the Big Timber Building. Three pits, initially used for storage and subsequently reused as midden pits, were excavated there, dated to the post-Capital Byzantine period (AD 975 – 1050). One of the pits contained an anonymous Byzantine follis of the Class A (AD 976 – 1030/1035); another one contained a fragmentary pot. Foundation trenches and postholes of several timber buildings and a passage or a long building were also discovered, dated to the Capital period (8th – 9th centuries AD) and the post-Capital Bulgarian period (end of the 9th – 10th centuries AD). Some of the foundation trenches and postholes overlapped, thus confirming the presence of at least three construction periods of the timber buildings. Two storage pits with sherds of the end of the 9th – 10th centuries AD were excavated in front of the kiln, discovered in 2017.
