A Thracian pit sanctuary estimated to date from the fifth to the fourth century BCE has been found by archaeologists in Bulgaria’s southern Black Sea city of Bourgas, the
municipality said on June 10.
The find was made in the Izgrev complex in the city after archaeological excavations at
the site began on May 26 2020. The archaeological work precedes the planned construction of a residential building at the site in Bourgas’s Nikola Petkov Boulevard.
Bulgarian news agency BTA said that the find had been made after its correspondent in
Bourgas had noticed apparently ancient objects at the site and had alerted the Interior
Ministry regional directorate in the city.
Currently, 14 ritual pits are being studied and at least 10 more have been found.
Items found include fragments of ceramic vessels, including bowls and amphorae. There are human and animal bones in the pits, as well as coal. No finds of metal objects have been made at this stage.
