Summary (English)

  • DRASTAR (Stanislav Ivanov – stanislavivanovarh@gmail.com, Gergana Ilieva) A wall of the Ottoman fortification was documented, built after the Crimean War in 1853 – 1856. Three buildings were partly discovered. Two of them were built of ashlars bonded with mortar and dated to the 9th century AD. Building No. 3 was the latest one. Its wall was 75 – 80 cm wide, built of ashlars. An entrance was explored. Probably, it was the western wall with an entrance of a church of the 13th – 14th century. Fragments from terracotta plastic decoration were found, typical of the decoration of the façades of the churches in that period. Sixteen Christian burials from two Mediaeval cemeteries were explored.
