    Summary (English)

    • UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPEDITION NEAR THE TOWN OF KAVARNA (Asen Salkin – darina_mircheva@abv.bg, Penko Georgiev) The explorations of the sunken part of the Roman period Bizone that is located in the gulf of Port Kavarna continued. Piles of stones and several dozens ashlars were found. One ashlar has a hole in its center and grooves. A millstone, an axle of a stone door, a marble head of a statue of the Roman period, two bronze dishes, animal bones and local pottery that were found until the present moment testify to the existence of buildings and the active settlement life. The numerous sherds of dolia may show that storehouses for grain existed there. There is a pile of ashlars in front of the sunken part of Bizone and most likely, there was a wall of a quay used for lading and unloading merchandize constructed on that place. A stone post for mooring the ships alongside the quay was also found.
