Archaeologists have found a Thracian pit sanctuary from the 5th-4th century BC in the residential quarter of "Izgrev" in the city of Burgas. At this stage, 14 cult pits have been discovered, very close to each other, said head of the archeological team Miroslav Klasnakov.
Many pieces of ancient pottery, including amphorae, foreign pottery, used for transportation of wine and olive oil were discovered in the pits made by the Thracians. The cult sanctuary was discovered by accident after a journalist from BTA saw ancient objects in the area of a construction site.
