Report on On-going Excavation of Roman Settlement Yurta, Province of Thrace
Original language description
The Roman settlement of Yurta, located near modern village of Stroyno in Yambol District, Bulgaria, has been excavated for two years (2014-2015) in cooperation of Regional Historical Museum in Yambol and the Institute of Classical Archaeology of the Charles University in Prague. The settlement is spread along 30 hectares along the Dereorman River, about 12 km east from the Tundzha River - one of the two navigable rivers passing through the Roman province of Thrace. Finds revealed on the site suggest its occupation from the 2nd to the 3rd century AD. Imitation of Eastern terra sigillata is to be found, while abundant fragments of transport amphorae from the Eastern Aegean (Kapitän II, Dressel 24) as well as terracotta lamps produced in Athens, point to imports from the whole Aegean. Raw glass and melted fragments of glass vessels revealed this year suggest also local glass production, while abundant amount of big iron slag might as well point out to iron melting and working undertaken on the settlement itself. This short poster presentation will introduce the settlement itself, the state of the excavation and the best finds discovered within those two years of the research.
