Prehistoric Sanctuary Discovered Near Sozopol Resort

2009-05-28   |  international.news.bg, 27.05.2009

Prehistoric sanctuary dating back to the second half of the sixth millennium BC was discovered during construction works in Gradina camping site near the Bulgarian resort of Sozopol.

Archaeologists discovered the sanctuary by accident and studied the region for several months, moreto.net inform.

During the construction activities of a holiday complex a group of archaeologists, led by the specialist on prehistory Peter Leshtakov from the National Archaeological Institute, found the remains of a prehistoric sanctuary. The sanctuary is set on an area of around ten decares and the thickness of the cultural layer is around one meter.

The site is one of the earliest found along the Black sea coast and is also one of the earliest on the Balkan Peninsula. In a six-meter shaft archaeologists found pieces of wood, which date back to the third quarter of the sixth millennium BC. According to them this is the oldest tree found in Bulgaria.

The other exceptional finding is connected to the earliest forms of metal yielding – archaeologists discovered metal pieces from the second half of the fifth millennium BC.
Three prehistoric tombs were also found dating back to the early bronze era.

Archaeologists believe that they give information about the social structure and religious rituals of the population, which lived on this territory in the third millennium BC.
