This is what the head of the archaeological works there, Prof. Nikolay Ovcharov, told the BTA. These are well-preserved sites - a large Christian church from the 5th-6th century and the foundations of an earlier temple, dating back to the 3rd-4th century. Coins and ceramics were also found, experts reported.
