Full text linkReflexions on the First to Second Mesolithic transition based on the stratigraphy from the Cuzoul de Gramat rock shelter (south-west France)
Full text linkAt the turn of the 7th millennium cal. BC the European Mesolithic underwent a major transformation in its technical traditions. This break is marked by a complete renewal of the lithic industries, with the disappearance of the production of bladelets (or slim flakes) obtained by direct percussion, used for the shaping of narrow armatures, and the appearance of standardised blades production, obtained by indirect percussion or pressure, used for the manufacture of trapeze armatures or notched blades. This break allows for a clear distinction between the First and Second Mesolithic.Recent work has been undertaken on this question, including collective works in collaborative programs (in particular those undertaken by T. Perrin) and the excavation of sites documenting this period. New analysis offers a fresh look at this key moment of the European Mesolithic. In light of recent evidences gathered in the Cuzoul of Gramat site (where excavations have been resumed since 2005 under the direction of N. Valdeyron), this paper propose to reassess the question of this transition between First and Second Mesolithic
За мистериозните острови Милос и Гата край Созопол: The mysterious islands Milos and Gata near Sozopol, Bulgaria
No full textNowadays in the aquatory of Sozopol, ancient Apollonia Pontica, on the Southern Bulgarian Black Sea coast exist three islands – St. Ivan, St. Peter and St. Kirik. Some scholars describing Sozopol and its environment in the late 19th century mention another two islets – Milos and Gata. Today they no longer exist. This paper addresses the questions of where these were located, and what was their fate. The research is based on a number of articles concerning the history, archaeology and geography of Sozopol and its area, naval and military maps, pilots and itineraries from the 19th – early 20th centuries, old pictures, and interviews with local anglers. The conclusions are that Gata is comprised of shallow reefs in the aquatory between the north-eastern shore of St. Kirik island and Sozopol peninsula and Milos was the name given to reefs in the aquatory south of St. Kirik island. Today these rocks are partly covered by an artificial road and island extension build in the 20th century
Flint assemblages in the context of cultural transition during the 6th millennium BC: a case study from Bulgaria
Full text linkThis paper offers a general overview of the chipped stone assemblages from Bulgaria during the Neolithic period (6th millennium BC). Based on numerous flint assemblages belonging to different phases of the Neolithic (many of them studied by the author), some general observations on the key features and trends are presented in a diachronic perspective. Following a long phase characterized by distinctive formal toolkits and uniform raw material use that served as the hallmark of a major Early Neolithic cultural alliance represented by the Karanovo I and II cultures, a shift in all aspects of the flint industry occurred around 5500 cal BC. The Balkan flint raw material distribution network declined, and there appeared chipped stone industries based mainly on local resources and expedient production. Strong evidence of microlithization – represented both by cores and tools with small dimensions and by the presence of geometric microliths – is reflected clearly in the morpho-metric parameters and typological repertoire of the flint industry, and can be regarded as a diagnostic feature of the Late Neolithic assemblages
Проект „Археологическа карта на България“: Project “Archaeological map of Bulgaria”
No full textThe article presents the results of the “Archaeological Map of Bulgaria” – project of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences carried out in 2017 and 2018. The main activities of the project include field surveys for the completion of the database of Archaeological map of Bulgaria (AMB), airborne laser scanning of micro-regions with high concentration of significant archaeological sites and development of new GIS software for the needs of AMB. The project involves scientists from five institutes, part of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, who contribute to the improvement and software development of the AMB Information system
Обекти и находки от ранната и късната желязна епоха в района на гр. Козлодуй: Sites and finds from the Early and Late Iron Age in the region of Kozloduy
No full textThis article presents pottery from the Еarly and Late Iron Age discovered some time ago in the region of Kozloduy. The Еarly Iron Age is better represented with materials from five sites. The Late Iron Age was registered at two sites. Some sites can be defined as settlements, others as necropolises. On the basis of the pottery characteristics, suggestions about the cultural affiliation and cultural links of the region at the end of 2nd and 1st millennium BC are offered
