The area of interest is home to a large number of<br>archeological findings dating back from the Late Antiquity (4-6th c.) and the Middle Ages (7-18th<br>c.), and fewer from older periods (prehistorical, Thracian and Roman periods). Geological<br>observations show presence of alluvial, prolluvial-delluvial, and prolluvial hollocen sediments.<br>Combining the results of archaeological and geological research allowed for (i) the verification of<br>the hypothesis that older archaeological objects are covered by accumulated sediments, and (ii) an<br>attempt to look into the livelihood in the area.</p> ER -
