Archaeologists have discovered a medieval settlement with metallurgical activity on the land of the village of Brestnitsa, along the route of the Hemus highway, the Bulgarian new agency BTA reports.
During the initial excavations carried out at the end of last year, a settlement dating to the First Bulgarian Kingdom was unearthed.
During the new excavations, metallurgical workshops dating back to the 9th and 10th century have been found with fully preserved furnaces for smelting iron ore, as well as over 10 dwellings dug into the ground, typical for this period. Among the artifacts there are many movable finds such as arrows, breastplate crosses, rings, ceramic vessels and more.
