Excavations at Kazlacha near the village of Chokoba, Sliven municipality (original) (raw)

Results of the Excavation at the Archaeological Site in the Kashlata/Vidanlak Locality, on the Land Belonging to Brestak Village, Valchi Dol Municipality, Varna Region

JOURNAL OF VARNA MUSEUM, 2023

The archaeological site is situated in Kashlata/Vidanlak Locality, 1.5 km southeast of the center of the village of Brestak, Valchi dol Municipality. It falls entirely in cultivated land. It is located on the lower part of a west-facing slope, on the eastern bank of a ravine, along which flows a stream, a tributary of the Karaman dere River. The main scientific goals of the present study are to specify the type and chronology of the newly registered archaeological site. Stacks of remnants of secondarily fired wall plaster fragments were discovered in several places. In the remaining studied area, fifteen dug-in structures were entirely excavated. Some of them were round or elliptical, and others were square. The fill of the pits had an identical composition – dark earth, with inclusions of charcoal, small fragments of plaster, and a small number of ceramic pieces. For some pits, it can be noted that their narrowing at depth is formed by one or two indentations, clearly visible in the bedrock.
