Summary (English)
PHILIPPOPOLIS (Maya Martinova – maya_martinova@abv.bg, Zdravka Korkutova) The site was situated in the western necropolis of Philippopolis. Four graves were explored, destroyed by later building activities. The graves were oriented north – south and had rectangular burial chambers, built of bricks bonded with mortar. The burial chambers were probably covered with horizontal stone slabs. There were inclined bricks on the southern end of the floor in one of the graves, resembling a pillow; the head of the dead was placed on it. The inner sides of three of the graves were covered with white plaster. The graves dated to the 2nd – 3rd centuries AD. A Late Antique monumental wall was discovered, built in opus mixtum.
